Overview:
The island of Timor was crucial to Japanese southern expansion plans. In the western half of Timor, the main Allied defenses around the town of Koepang and Penfui airfield consisted primarily of Australian troops of Sparrow force. Japanese Naval paratroopers landed behind Australian lines in an attempt to seize the airfield. They were met by rear echelon units from the 2/40th Battalion at the village of Babau. A fierce fight erupted at the Timorese village and fortunes for both sides ebbed and flowed over the day. Despite the Australians controlling Babau at day's end, they pulled back to a neighboring village for the night. However, the Aussies had stopped the Japanese from achieving their goal of seizing the airfield.Attacker: Japanese (1 Company, Yokosuka 3rd Special Naval Landing Force, Eastern Detachment)
