Overview:
The main battle in West Timor shifted to the village of Babau. On the previous day, Australian troops of Sparrow Force (all volunteers from Tasmania) threw Japanese Naval paratroopers out of Babau, preventing the paratroopers from seizing the Penfui airfield. Communication failures on both sides led to the Aussies vacating their newly-won village and numerous Japanese units conducting meaningless sweeps of the jungle. The next day, it was apparent Babau had to be re-captured and held by Sparrow Force to allow the Aussies an easterly retreat route from the overwhelming amphibious landing to the west. Fresh Japanese Naval paratroopers were landed in the morning and reinforces the area around Babau and began to serve as a blocking force against the Australians.Attacker: Australian (Company B, 2/40th Battalion, "Sparrow Force")
Defender: Japanese (2 Company, Yokosuka 3rd Special Naval Landing Force, Eastern Detachment)
