The Andaman are but 590 miles from the mouth of the Hugli, most Important of the mouths of the Ganges and not much farther from Calcutta itself. It is 800 miles from the islands to Tfincomalee, the British naval station on Ceylon.

In an earlier outflanking sally, a mixed force of Japanese horsemen and plainclothes infiltrators managed to cut the Toungoo-Mandalay road at Tadashe, 30 miles north of Toungoo, but Chinese forces drove out the cavalry and mopped up the others, it was stated.

This implied that the main road to the north still was open, despite the Japanese occupation of the airdrome and, in fact, the communique stated that the main Japanese force still was being held 20 miles south of Toungoo and that the Chinese still were In their outpost line running between Iktwin, five miles south of Toungoo and Tantabin, five miles to the east. -Air Action Heavy Air action was heavy in the Burmese theater, with mounting losses on both sides.
