Overview:

In order to slow the lightning advance of the Japanese, Lt.-General Stilwell sent the elite Chinese 200th Division into the walled city of Toungoo to help stabilize his ruptured front. Meanwhile to the south, Japanese patrols ranged through the deserted streets of Rangoon. After a bitter two-day battle to force a river crossing on 20 March, the Japanese 55th Infantry Division invested the city from the south, west and north. On the 24th, the Japanese began a series of attacks on the city proper. Their only success on the first day lay in the northwest corner of the ancient city, where the 112th Infantry managed to penetrate the native quarter.

Defender: Chinese (600th Infantry Regiment)
