Overview:
Following Pearl Harbor, the Japanese attacked key locations in Asia, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. The islands of Java and Sumatra contained key raw materials and bases and also formed part of the Japanese expansion plans. Leading the southern attack were men of the Eastern Detachment, commanded by General Takeo Ito. Many of Ito's soldiers were veterans of the Chinese battlefields. The islands of Timor and Ambon helped connect Java and Sumatra to the Australian mainland via air, so the Japanese needed to secure the former pair before invading the latter. An Australian reinforced battalion, known as Sparrow Force, was the main Allied defensive unit in Timor. To help dislodge these ANZACs. The Japanese paratroopers from the 3rd Yokosuka SNLF landed behind Australian lines attempting to seize the main airfield.Attacker: Australian (B Company, 2/40th Battalion, "Sparrow Force")
