Overview:
After the formal surrender of the Empire of Japan, the British were eager to fill up the power vacancy that had developed in Indochina, lest it be filled by someone else. Lord Mountbatten was dispatched there, and quickly realized the insurrectional nature of the situation. Facing civilian kidnapping, rioting and criminal fires and bombings, he was quick to understand that his forces alone were not enough to maintain order (if not peace). After several confrontations with the Viet Minh (including one where a Russian advisor was captured, bringing the proof of Communist involvement in the disorder), Mountbatten saw no other option but to seek the aid of the remaining Japanese forces. On October 29 such an unlikely force called Gateforce was tasked to clear part of the area around Saigon of its rebels.Attacker: British / Japanese (14/13th Frontier Force Rifles and 16th Light Cavalry, 100th Infantry Indian Brigade (Galeforce) with IJA Southern Expedition Army)
Defender: Viet Minh (Viet Minh Insurrection Force)
