Supplies. equipment and reinforcements continue Io How in despite monsoon conditions to the Chindits who have been well over 100 days behind the Japanese front in north Burma, leaving a trial of havoc wherever they have been. Columns which have been making havoc on the Bhamo-Myitkyina road have now turned north to assist in the operation for the reduction of Myitkyina. under unified command. They moved in to attack the Japanese in foxholes and bunkers on the east bank of the Irrawaddy.
