Na Cham Port, Indochina 1940-09-24 (8 others)

Overview:

By late 1940, the Japanese Army was compelled to enter Indochina in order to cut off supplies to the Chinese. Even as word of a Japanese-Vichy pact was received, the elite Japanese 5th Division crossed the border at the China Gate and overran Dang Dang. The directive to return fire if threatened, forwarded as part of the orders to pull back following the peace treaty, only served as a pretext for elements of the 5th to turn their attention to the fort at Na Cham. . .
