The battle was fought between troops of the Sri Lankan army and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, commonly known as LTTE. ==Battle== On July 10, 1991, the LTTE launched a massive attack at Elephant Pass. The battle was up until that time, the most violent and bloody confrontation that ever took place between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan Army. The LTTE had previously surrounded the base and blocked off routes north and south so no reinforcements could come in. Also at the beginning of July the LTTE moved anti-aircraft guns close to the base so no helicopters can bring in supplies. Thus the 800 troops of the 6th Battalion of the Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment stationed in the base were trapped, yet led by Maj. (later Maj. Gen.) Sanath Karunaratne fought on. The assault came from the south. On the first day the LTTE captured a few bunkers held by Sri Lankan troops. During the attack the LTTE used steel-plated earthmoving vehicles and tractors. They fired hundreds of mortar rounds on the positions of the Sri Lankan forces. The next day the second-in-command of the base was killed in a mortar attack. Helicopters were not able to land at the base because of heavy enemy fire. Eventually the Rest House camp in the southern sector of the base fell into the hands of the LTTE. Sustaining heavy losses, the Sri Lankan troops fell back to the rearward positions. As dusk fell the LTTE forces launched several attacks with hundreds of troops, and surrounded the army's fortifications. The defending troops were shocked by the sight of a hitherto unknown bulldozer covered with armored plates that looked like a huge tank. It was equipped with a machine gun on top of it and contained a large supply of arms and ammunition inside it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「First Battle of Elephant Pass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
