Overview:

Despite limited successes by the Allies, the Japanese had made great strides in overcoming the defenses. The 2nd Division had run into the Australian and British “Blackforce” at the Tjianten River. However, by March 4th, the Allied troops were withdrawing towards Butienzorg, a key road junction in western Java. The town was occupied by a mixed group of KNIL regulars and Native troops. The Japanese, being very confident that their Blitzkrieg tactics would be successful, kept pushing forward. Despite lacking any information on the town’s defenses, the Japanese launched a series of attacks to clear the town.
