Overview:
By mid-February the Japanese had embarked their invasion force, bound for the south coast of Timor opposite Koepang. At roughly 0830 on 20 February, long-range Japanese aircraft began to scatter paratroopers in small drops all around the city. Their objective was to spread confusion by cutting Allied lines of communication. The largest group was assigned the task of cutting the road between the airfield and Koepang. Reinforced with a second drop the next day, this group had established a sturdy block by the time the Allies recovered from their confusion of the previous day and Lt.-Col. Leggatt, commander of "Sparrow Force" ordered a counterattack to clear the road.Attacker: Australian / Dutch (Company C, 2/40th Infantry Battalion and 2nd East Indies Colonial Infantry Company)
Defender: Japanese (2nd Raiding Regiment)
