Overview:
On March 12 the Japanese invaded Northern Sumatra. The Japanese invaded in three prongs intending on surrounding and annihilating the defenders. After a relatively unopposed landing the Japanese main body drove inland along the Simpang Raja River. The Dutch continued with a series of delaying actions falling back towards the town of Balige. A Lt. K Van de Ploeg was placed in charge of the troops in the Prapat area north of Balige. However shortly after setting up his command he was ordered back to Balige as his force was in danger of being cut off. As his men fell back they left a small detachment in Porsea to delay the Japanese. The Japanese however quickly bypassed Porsea in pursuit the retreating Dutch. After a persuasive argument, Van de Ploeg received permission to counterattack with two armored cars to break through to the isolated platoon.Attacker: Japanese (Kokushi Detachment)
Defender: Dutch (North Sumatra Garrison Battalion)
