REACHING A CLIMAX
LONDON, April 12.
Though there has been no important change for three days on the Burma frontier, correspondents report that at the northern end of the front the battle for Kohima is reaching a climax. Earlier messages said our troops had taken advantage of slackening Japanese activity to clear a further strip of the road linking the area with the railway. Correspondents say the war of mortar and machine-gun fire continues day and night. Airborne troops in central Burma are meeting increased Japanese resistance. North of them, American and Chinese forces have cleared the Japanese from about one-third of the Mogaung Valley.
