A large Indonesian contingent crossed the border and attacked the outpost at Long Jawai, about fifty miles into Borneo. A small mixed military and paramilitary force was defeated by the Indonesians but British Gurkha reinforcements were put into the jungle between the area and Indonesian Borneo. In a number of ambushes some of the withdrawing Indonesian force were killed. == Background == On 25 September 1963, Captain John Burlingson arrived at the village of Long Jawai, population of 500, and began setting up defences. His forces consisted of four Gurkhas led by Corporal Tejbahadur Gurung, two Police Field Force troopers, and 21 local (paramilitary) Malaysian Border Scouts. However, an Indonesian reaconaissance party had been hiding in one of the village longhouses, and was soon reinforced by a full scale raiding party. The Gurkhas and Malaysians were oblivious to the danger. The Indonesians had moved into this area with 200 men and 300 porters. 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「Battle of Long Jawai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
