The only Japanese resistance encountered came from shore batteries which failed to hit their mark.

However, they were also often used to supplement police power in suppressing Japanese resistance.

Japanese resistance was fierce and air attacks were almost unceasing.

The campaign then slowed owing to a combination of logistical difficulties and Japanese resistance.

The final stage of the campaign saw the Japanese resistance finally break.

The Japanese resistance was fierce, and the initial losses to the battalion were heavy.

But by midday, faced with strong Japanese resistance, the counterattack failed.
