The lightning/drive caught the
Japanese flatfooted and completely
several all roads, rail lines and
communication* leading south and
southeastward from Mandalay.
The Japanese put up a five-day
suicidal battle for Meiktila, an im-
portant supply route In southern
Burma. But while the main forces
of the Allied 14th army were raz-
ing the town, other units swept 14
miles to' the east and sprung a
steel arc around the road and rail
junction of Thazi. .
General Katamura’s 15th
Japanese army, comprising more
than 30,000 combat troops in
addition to auxiliaries, was cut
off at Mandalay from the ene-
my forces in the Rangoon and
Moulmein areas along the south-
ern Burma eoast.
All supply routes to the Manda-
lay garrison were severed and the
harassed enemy forces had only a
secondary, circuitous road leading
to Keng Tung near the Indo-China
border open for escape.
Meiktila itself was practically
ruined by the five-day battle in
which heavy bombers and artillery
joined the ground forces. An esti-
mated 1.200 Japanese were killed
In the town. Only a few prisoners
were taken.
