US ARMY
LUZON—On E
flank of II Corps, 21st Infantry (PA) counterattacks at 0600 after artillery
preparation and reduces part of salient on left flank of 57th Infantry (PS). Japanese
are thus prevented from launching planned offensive in that area, but make
progress to W against 51st Division (PA), forcing it back to MAIN LINE OF
RESISTANCE along Balantay River. Enemy column driving S in central Bataan, with
task of turning corps’ left flank, is not yet in position for attack.
MALAYA—General Wavell again visits front and confers with
commanding officers. Withdrawal of Indian 3 Corps into Johore reaches final
stage; all vehicles are being moved through Segamat. Convoy with badly needed
reinforcements reaches Singapore and unloads first echelon of British 18th Division
(53d Brigade Group), AA units, and 50 Hurricane fighters with crews.
BURMA—Joint Military Council recommends construction of
Ledo and Imphal roads.
USSR—Red Army has driven deep salient between German 2d
Pz and 4th Armies on central front SW of Kaluga; deepens it with
