Overview:
Babau remained the key in West Timor. On the previous day, Australian troops threw Japanese Naval paratroopers out of Babau for a second time, allowing Sparrow Force a vital easterly retreat route from the large amphibious landing to their west. The Japanese defenders proved formidable, and the Naval paratroopers prepared a new blocking position in Oesau, about one kilometre to the east of Babau. Three companies from 2/40th Battalion began to reduce this position on the afternoon of 2 February. To ensure Sparrow Force could clear the position at Oesau, a rearguard action was prepared around Babau. The Aussies had to delay the veteran Japanese soldiers from the 228th Regiment who formed the amphibious assault.Attacker: Japanese (9 Company, 228th Infantry Regiment, Eastern Detachment and Light Tank Company)
Defender: Australian (Company D and rear echelon units, 2/40th Battalion, "Sparrow Force")
