 British Indian forces were re- ported moving northward from the Chin Hills area of Burma to deal with Japanese outflanking move- ments north of Tiddim. This enemy drive apparently was aimed at the l32-mile road joining Tiddim and 1mphal.
 Heavy fighting was in progress yesterday l6 miles north of Tiddim near the village of Tonzang which was reported in flames, The enemy was following his usual tactics of descending on the T1ddlm. Imphal road at numerous points to form blocks intended to isolate sections of British columns along the road.
 Token Invasion
 Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, Britt ish commanders .in-chief In India, told the state council yesterday that the Japanese penetration was token invasion" which tho en- emy could have made at any time.
 No real threat can materlaliSe unless and until the Japanese man. age to penetrate to points from which they could attack our rail and river communications or our air- fields in Assam," he said. ITO do this they must cross great distances with high mountains and dense for ests, Lacking the means Of pro- tectlon of supply from the air the enemy cannot hope to maintain such penetration without either destroy. ing or forcing back our troops, |. .
