YATES McDANIEL, Associated Press War Correspondent. WITH THE BRITISH, FORCES ON THE MALAYAN FRONT, Jan. 22—Going after big game, British, Australian and Indian soldiers fought furiously today to smash the spearhead of the entire forces the Japanese have moved into the Muar River district in the last few days. British artillery began the engage- ment yesterday afternoon and in- fantrymen immediately advanced to attack the strongly reinforced Jap- anese Army which was threatening the western flank of the imperial defenses in Northern Johore State. ‘The empire troops also were anx- ious to relieve the remnants of two Australian and one Indian battalion cut off for three days below the Muar River, 70 miles north of Singa- (Reports received in London said the Australians had cleaned up all Japanese inflltration crews south of their present position in Northern Johore State.) Action Planned Under Tree. ‘The action by which the British command hoped to dislodge the Jap- | anese from strong. positions in | Northern Johore, where the battle probably will be decided, was | planned under the shade of a rubber tree. Generals sat on the ground around maps in a council of war. Japanese planes were overhead al: | most the entire time, but there were no interruptions of the deliberations. ‘While the generals bent over their maps their aides stood by with load- ed Tommy guns and dispatch riders came and went. Across the road a detachment of troops sprawled un- der rubber trees awaiting the order for action.

One soldier was singing and another was playing a har- moica. On my trip to the front, I met a young British captain who laugh- ingly told me “Don’t couht us out until you see us.” ‘Walked 100 Miles. This captain, with seven Austra- lian anti-tank gunners and 17 In- dian soldiers, had walked 100 miles through Japanese-occupied territory to rejoin the units from which he was cut off in & night retreat from the slim river section of Central Malaya. “During the night 10 days ago we were told to pick up our battalion,” the captain said. “Instead we picked up a battalion of Japanese.” The captain sald his party cut its way through the jungle around enemy positions. “The Chinese along the way were grand to us,” he said. “They gave us food and coffee and finally built the raft on which we floated down a river along both sides of which Japanese patrols were operating. “Our Chinese friends flatly refused | to accept the money we offered | them.” Our boys at the front need a| steady flow of supplies.
