In the south Calafornia troops crossed the border with little oposition. They proceded east along Route eight. When they got to Yuma it was a different story. Azizona troops were well dug in. There were machengun nests with overlapping fields of fire. Behind that morters. Guns pointed out of every window on the edge of town. Calafornia tanks and remot machine gun trucks went in first. They were followed by the First Los Angeles Infantry. Tanks soon nuteralized the machine guns. A few tranks and robos were stoped by bazookas and connon fire. When they reach the edge of town the infantry went foreward, rooting out Arizona troops were ever they could find them. Fighting was house to house and some timed hand to hand. This went on for most os the day. Finaly the rermaining Arizonans retreated toward Tacna. Wile the First L.A. suffered heavy casualts they were in controal of Yuma. Advance elements started toward Tacana. There was a breef but, intense strugle. Caladornia won.They were firmley established in Arizona. Scouts reported some action near Gila Bend. Nothing indeacated a counter attack. So, they incamped for the night. Wile a good deal of ground had been covered it had been at a price, Some wondered how meny victorys of this type they could afford..
