War Situation Last Night (By KIRKE L. SIMPSON, Associated Press War Analyst) Ominous new Japanese moves against both the right and left flanks of the British-Chinese front in Burma isldicate a crisis there before the monsoon rains come by mid-May to stall major operations and relieve pressure on the Allies. London reports Jn shipping in the Bay of Bengal. indicat- ing a sea-borne attack on the British-held right flank. but the uln- atlon on the Chinese-held eastern front ls more critical. I I I I I I Several factors should be weighed in estimating the probabilities on that east front. Not the least significant ls the indicated decision of General Stilwefl. commander of the Chinese troops, to hold his ground in the Taunggyl-Ilopong sector nearly 100 miles south-south- west of the Nlpponese spearhead. a o o o o Stllvvcll probably has fairly accurate estimates of the strength and composition of the Japanese forces which have lay-passed the direct roads to Mandalay, which his troops guard to strike at the blandnlay- Lashio railroad. The spearhead of that mechanized force apparently advanced 100 miles or so northward from Loikew in two days, meeting little resistance. I 1 I I i I Two conclusions can be drawn from that. One ls that the im- pending rainy season in Burma now ls so close that Japanese hopes of breaking through to Mandalay by the Irrawaddy or Stttang rivrr routes had been frustrated. The other is that the thrust at Lashio nr any other point on the vital railroad east of Mandalay is not in great strength. A desperate Japanese gamble with the weather is indicated. Be- fore mid-May the torrential rains of the long wet season nre due. Once the rains start. Japanese troops composing the flanking for- ces would be in great difficulties. To supply, reinforce or withdraw them over washed out and Chinese destroyed roads would be all but impossible. They must reach Lashlo or some other point on the Man- dalay railroad east of Mandalay in strong force before the rains to t...
