Enemy convoy at Tarakan. China One fewer armour unit is present by my reckoning. Heading to the rear to R&R? quote:

India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina Key unit withdrawal from Burma goes smoothly. Still no assault on Toungoo so presumably enemy units are enveloping first. Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia No contacts. Complete combat report attached.
