Op 30 januari 1942 landen rond 1.000 man Japanse troepen bij Hitu-lama op de noordkust van Ambon. Ook bij het schiereinland Laitimor landen troepen. Hoewel de Japanners evenveel grondtroepen hadden als de geallieerden waren zij beter uitgerust (veldartillerie) en ontvingen zij ondersteuning van scheepsartillerie. De superioriteit van de Japanse luchtmacht betekende dat de resterende geallieerde vliegtuigen (RAAF) de volgende dag werden teruggetrokken. Binnen een dag waren de Nederlandse troepen gedwongen zich terug te trekken richting Paso. De vernietiging van de bruggen bij Hitu mislukte, hetgeen de Japanse opmars verder bespoedigde.
