Axis reports said today that
powerful Allied forces, in-
cluding the veteran United

moving toward new invasions
of southern Europe, possibly
simultaneous assaults against
Italy’s Adriatic coast, the

in Texas during July, the Uni-

seized the western inland ap-
proaches to Lae under cover of
a terrific aerial bombardment
that literally flattened the
enemy's gun emplacements in
the Markham Valley.
Hundreds of American para-
troopers were on the ground
and in action before the stun-
ned Japanese realized what
was happening.____ _
~Moat of the enemy forces
apparently were engaged in a
desperate battle against the
main body of Allied troops
that landed east of Lae Satur-
day morning. The American
and Australian jungle troops
in the main body had pushed
on west and north from their
landing spot and last were re-
ported about nine miles east of
Lae. -
The enemy’s attention was
distracted further by a pulver-
izing aerial assault on their
main outer defenses north of
Lae carried out by a strong
force of heavy bombers.
Raining ninety-four tons of
high explosives on the north-
ern defense works at Heath’s
Plantation, MacArthur's
heavyweights turned the Japa-
nese positions there into a
mam of flaming rains and ap-
parently opened the way for a
direct ground assault by the
main attacking body through
that breach.
Simultaneously, swift attack
bombers raced in behind the
parachuting infantrymen and
artillery in the Markham Val-
ley and sprayed the entire
area with fragmentation
bombs and more than 60,000
rounds of machine-gun fire.
, Enemy resistance in the val-
ley disintegrated under the
deadly rain of fire, and artil-
lery positions scattered
through the area were batter-
ed quickly into silence, while
gasoline and supply dumps
along the river burst into
flames.
