North of Pamarajan, Java; Landing in the dark hours of early March 1st, on the northeastern point of the island of Java, at Merak, japanese LtGen Maruyama's 2nd division began it's dash eastward, to capture the bridges on the Ulong River. After blowing through the thinly dispersed screening forces the Allies had deployed on the coast, by daylight, the japanese 2nd Recon Regiment raced through Serang toward the River. North of Pamarajan, the Dutch Rangkasbitung Defense Force, under Cpt List, prepared to blow the Pamarajan Bridge. Already demoralized, the Allied troops knew that it must be done in a hurry, but the rain and general disorganization had made it difficult even to get men to the bridge. Just as they arrived, so did japanese Lt Shiraishi's Left Advance Group of the 2nd Recon Regiment.
