Jap Bombers Pound
Rangoon in Heaviest
Night Raid Of War
R. A. +. Downs 3 Planes
In Attack on Formation
Of "a Fighters
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RANGOON, Burma, Sunday, Feb.
8.-Japanese bombers swept over
Rangoon early today and subjected
this great Burma road terminus to
its heaviest night raid Of the war.
For three hours the Japanese at
tackled in waves. concentrating again
on the airdrome Just north Of Ran
COON.
The city area also was bombed.
The raid followed a relatively
quiet day during which R. A. F.
Hurricane fighters attacked a for
nation of "a scouting fighters, rout-
ing the formation and sending three
Of them flaming to the earth. The
r. A. F. escaped without injury.
The Japanese attack this morn
ing was the fourth successive night
raid. They evidently were trying
desperately to knock out Allied air
power IN Burma before attempting
to advance in force across the broad
Salween River, some 100 miles to
the east.
Japs Fail in Knockout.
Any large effort by Japanese
ground troops now would be vul-
nerable to attacks from planes based
in Burma. authoritative sources
pointed out.
A visit to one air base which the
Japanese had attacked showed that
they were failing in their effort for
a knockout blow.
Two formations Of IL planes each
roared over Rangoon during day
light Saturday. Besides the three
shot down, a fourth was listed as
probably destroyed.
Military men said the daylight
flyers apparently were trying to find
what damage they had done to the
airport the night before. The Brit
ish communique had described the
damage as very slight.
The Hurricanes met and routed
the Japanese so swiftly that Ameri-
can-f1own Tomahawks were unable
to make contact with the enemy.
Indian pilots. as well as Ameri-
can, British. Australian and Cana
dianS, are defending Burma.
British Lines Hold Firm.
In the absence of any word from
the land front. military observers
presumed the situation was quiet.
Some japanese patrols have fl
tered across the river, but the Brit
ish lines were last reported holding
firm. The Japanese were believed
bringing up reserves and consoli-
dating their positions in the extreme
eastern portion of Burma for an
assault aimed at cutting the Burma
Road, vital Chinese supply route
One American was added to the
small A. v. G. casualty list today.
The body Of 1t Bert Christman, 26,
of Fort Collins, Colo, has been
found with his open parachute. He
had been killed on patrol over
Burma while fighting under the
Chinese flag. 1t. Christman, a for

He suddenly popped out of fox

gan their creepingly slow advance.
The Japanese meanwhile dug
frantically into fox holes feet wide
and feet deep and in a network
of trenches around the bases Of
trees Others climbed trees, lashed
themselves to limbs and began snip
ing. They we're so we'll concealed
that even when killed their bodies
could not Immediately be located.
For some days our troops were
able to advance only 3 to S yards
through underbrush that was so
thick it was impossible to see an
arms length ahead
Move Up on Bellies.
Our troops were forced to crawl
on their bellies, inching their rifles
forward with their fingers on the
triggers until they were so close
they could hear the enemy breath
ing.
Then both the japanese and the
Americans aimed their rifles at in
visible targets, shot once and lay
still again.
In these stages of the fighting
tanks couldn't be used because the
roads were covered by Japanese
land mines and anti-tank guns. The
trees were SO close together hand
grenades could not be thrown and
one American said to another:
Il wish Bob Feller were here to
toss 'em down the middle"
The day before yesterday in the
afternoon the tanks went in and
after several hours knocked out two
machine gun nests beside the road.
The majority Of land mines had
been removed by the infantry. Dis
cus-shaped mines which the Japa-
nese hurled failed to blow the tracks
of the tanks or do any damage
other than jarring the crews.
Tanks Machine-gun "a in Trench.
The tanks were back all day yes
terday, knocked out a Japanese 81
nm. gun and went back in at 8
am. today when they thoroughly
combed the now f1attened and
SCARED battlefield, shooting down
japanese who attempted to escape
by jumping from trench to trench.
In one long trench the tanks ma
chine-gunned "a of the enemy.
When the japanese had been cor
nered, American tanks withheld
their fire for several moments hop
ing they would surrender. In
last defiant gesture, two japanese
who we're manning now useless
machine gun, took off their shoes
and hurled them at tank.
The Americans were unable to
leave the tank without being shot
so they ran the steel monster over
the Japanese position.
At / pm. the tanks returned to
their outpost only Is yards from
the edge of the battlefield. Crew
members and bunch of boys from
Wisconsin, many of them college
graduates, climbed sweat-covered
from the tanks and reported they

Forts in Philippines
Bombarded by laps;
Damage Not Heavy
Opening Of New Enemy
Drive to Crush Islands
Resistance Indicated
Fy the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
A three-hour bombardment OF
American forts at the mouth OF
Manila Bay, intensified artillery
fire on Bataan Peninsula and
new air duels indicated yester-
day that the Japanese were
opening a new offensive in an
effort to crush resistance in the
Philippines.
A War Department communique
telling OF these developments, also
disclosed that near Bali, in the
Netherlands Indies, a formation OF
eight American P-40 pursuit planes
was attacked by greatly superior
force of Japanese fighters" The
result was that "at least three enemy
planes were shot down." while one
United States plane was destroyed
and another missing.
The bombardment of Forts Drum,
Mills and Hughes in Manila Bay
disclosed that the shells the forts
poured on enemy gun positions Fri
day had not destroyed all Japanese
batteries concealed on the south
eastern side of the bay. Yester-
days communique said the japanese
bombardment was by heavy artil-
lery. that no material damage was
done and that "our guns returned
the fire with undetermined results. "
Most Aimed at Fort Drum.
Most of the Japanese shells were
directed at Fort Drum, a concrete
fortiication atop an islet, but some
were thrown at Fort Mills, the Cor
regidor Island position, and at Fort
Hughes, not far away.
The range for the dual presuma-
bly, varied from to 10 miles, the
former being the distance from Fort
Drum to the southeastern shore
and the latter from there to Cor
regidor.
On Bataan Peninsula, there was
little infantry action in the "a hours
preceding the $50 am. issuance
OF the report.
Artillery Fire Heavy.
But, the report said, enemy ar
tillery fire was heavy" and hostile
dive bombers were active" over the
lines of Gen. Douglas MacArthurs
Filipino-American Army. Two
American fighter planes went after
four Nipponese planes and downed
two without damage to the Ameri-
can craft.
Whether the stepped-up artillery
fire by the japanese might be pre-
liminary to a new general push at
