Conflict
At the start of the Malayan Campaign, British forces thrust into Thailand with the intent of capturing strategic points to deny them to the Japanese. Once the Japanese landed at Kota Bharu, however, the British realized they would soon be flanked and recalled their troops. This useless movement weakened the British line at Jitra, where the Japanese finally attacked and soon overran the initial British units, forcing them to withdraw. Near dawn on the 12th, the Japanese forced a detachment of tanks and infantry down the trunk road until, on the outskirts of Asun, the lead tank was knocked out and a Gurkha position was discovered blocking the road.
