GEN. MacA THURS HQ.,
PHILIPPINES, Dec. 8 QNS)-
American forces smashed forward
today in the Ormoc area of Leyte
Island in an encircling movement
made possible by a daring amphb-
ious landing three miles south of
the Port of Ormoc.
At the same time. Jap convoy
of ID ships coming to the rescue
of the beleaguered enemy garrison
at Ormoc was destroyed. with the
loss of an estimated 1000 Japa-
nese troops, while on the eastern
side of Leyte a suicide mission by
200 Jap paratroopers was smashed.
Japanese broadcasts indi-
Gated that British aircraft car
riers were taking part in the
Leyte operations, according to
the United Press.)
TELLS OF LANDING
Gen. MacArthur's communique
revealed that the nth Infantry
Division made the landing south
of Ormoc and the battle-hardened
veterans of Guam had scarcely
stormed ashore when the large
enemy convoy was sighted steam
ing south in the ViSayan Sea
toward Ormoc under heavy air
cover.
American fighter-bombers i'm
mediately launched a smashing
attack against the convoy, sinking
the entire group, which was COM
posed of four large transports of
from 1000 to $500 tons each, two
freighter-transports of $500 tons
each and seven destroyers and
destroyer-escorts.
JAPS SURPRISED
The amphibious operation was
supported by American air and
surface forces and was made with
out opposition, catching the enemy
completely by surprise in a
maneuver which bids fair to break
the long Leyte stalemate.
MacArthur's communique said
that the 77th Division troops,
under the command of Maj. Gen.
Bruce, were advancing northward,
cutting the Japanese lines between
northern and southern forces and
leaving the enemy open to attack
from three other American col
umns advancing from the north,
east and south.
u. s. SHIP LOSSES
While the landing troops pushed
forward ashore, the convoy from
which the operation was launched
was attacked by japanese planes
with the result that one u. S.
destroyer and a small transport
which already had unloaded were
severely damaged by aerial tor
pedoes and abandoned by their
crews.
In the dual aerial battle center
ing on American and japanese
conveys, 81 Japanese planes were
shot out of the sky, while five
American aircraft were lost. All
American airmen were rescued.
BLAST PARATROOPS
The abortive Jap paratroop
landing was carried out in the
vicinity of San Pablo airfield,
about 80 miles south of American
held Tacloban on eastern Leyte.
The Jap sky troopers, number
ing about 200, were quickly
rounded up or killed. The cone
munique, however, admitted that
some sabotage" was accom-
plished.
Referring to the Ormoc landing,
MacArthur's communique said:
by this maneuver, we have
seized the center of the Yama-
shita Line from the rear and
have split the enemy's forces In
two, isolating those In the valley
to the north from those along
the cOast I'm the south"
