Borneo campaign ( 1945 ) The Borneo Campaign of 1945 was the last major Allied campaign in the South West Pacific Area , during World War II . In a series of amphibious assault s between 1 May and 21 July , the Australian I Corps , under General Leslie Morshead , attacked Japanese forces occupying the island . Allied naval and air forces , centred on the U . S . 7th Fleet under Admiral Thomas Kinkaid , the Australian First Tactical Air Force and the U . S . Thirteenth Air Force also played important roles in the campaign . They were resisted by Imperial Japanese Navy and Army forces in southern and eastern Borneo , under Vice - Admiral Michiaki Kamada , and in the north west by the Thirty - Seventh Army , led by Lieutenant - General Baba Masao . The plans for the Allied attacks were known collectively as Operation Oboe . The invasion of Borneo was the second stage of Operation Montclair , which was aimed at destroying Japanese forces in , and re - occupying the Netherlands East Indies , the southern Philippines , Sarawak and British Borneo . Borneo in particular was considered at the time a strategic location for its natural resources , oil . The Borneo campaign was criticised in Australia at the time and in subsequent years , as pointless or a " waste " of the lives of soldiers . Modern historians such as Max Hastings have said that attacking these forces , already cut off from Japan , was a waste of resources . It has been argued that the campaign did , however , achieve a number of objectives , such as increasing the isolation of significant Japanese forces occupying the main part of the Dutch East Indies , capturing major oil supplies , and freeing Allied prisoners of war , who were being held in increasingly worse conditions ( see , for example , the Sandakan Death Marches and Batu Lintang camp articles ) . The initial Allied plan comprised six stages : Operation Oboe 1 was to be an attack on Tarakan ; Oboe 2 against Balikpapan ; Oboe 3 against Banjermasin ; Oboe 4 against Surabaya or Batavia ( Jakarta ) ; Oboe 5 against the eastern Netherlands East Indies ; and Oboe 6 against British Borneo ( Sabah ) . In the end only the operations against Tarakan , Balikpapan and British Borneo — at Labuan and Brunei Bay — took place . The campaign opened with Oboe 1 , with a landing on the small island of Tarakan , off the north east coast on 1 May 1945 . This was followed on 10 June 1945 by Oboe 6 : simultaneous assaults on the island of Labuan and the coast of Brunei , in the north west of Borneo . A week later , the Australians followed up with attacks on Japanese positions around Weston on the north - eastern part of Brunei Bay . The attention of the Allies then switched back to the central east coast , with Oboe 2 , the last major amphibious assault of World War II , at Balikpapan on 1 July 1945 . These operations ultimately constituted the last campaigns of Australian forces in the war against Japan .

BA - 10 The BA - 10 ( ) was an armored car developed in the Soviet Union in 1938 and produced till 1941 . It was the most produced Soviet pre - 1941 heavy armored car – 3311 were built in three versions . These versions were the BA - 10 , the BA - 10M ( improved version with new radio ) , and the BA - 10ZhD ( equipped for dual railway / road use ) . The basic BA - 10 design was developed from the BA - 3 and BA - 6 heavy armored cars . It had an improved GAZ - AAA chassis and improved armor ( up to 15mm at front and turret ) . It was intended that the BA - 10 would be replaced in 1941 by the BA - 11 with diesel engine and more sophisticated armor design , but the outbreak of war prevented BA - 11 production . The BA - 10 was in Red Army service till 1945 . Significant numbers of captured BA - 10s were used by Finland ( at least 24 ) , Germany and other Axis powers in Europe . Development . During the late 1930s , Soviet armoured fighting vehicle designers incorporated sloped armor into all their new designs , and redesigned some existing vehicles to take advantage of it . The BA - 10 used a slightly smaller , better - sloped armor layout than that of the BA - 6 , thus improving protection while saving weight . The greater engine power ( 50 hp , compared to 40 hp on the BA - 6 ) made the vehicle more reliable . Like its predecessors , the BA - 10 could be converted to a half - track by fitting auxiliary tracks to the rear pair of dual tandem wheels . On early BA - 10s , these tracks were stowed strapped on top of the fenders . Later vehicles had an enclosed stowage box for the tracks in the same location . The tracks were often fitted when the vehicle needed to move across snow or soft ground . In action . The BA - 10 first saw action against the Japanese in Manchuria at the Battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939 . It was involved in all the Soviet Union ' s subsequent military operations and campaigns of 1939 - 1940 . During World War II the BA - 10 was used against the Germans on the Eastern Front , but was rarely seen after the winter of 1941 – 42 . Later in the war , the heavy scouting role was taken over by light tanks such as the T - 60 and T - 70 . A few BA - 10s were seen as late as 1943 on the Leningrad front . Large numbers of captured BA - 10s were used by Axis powers in Europe . In May 1945 a few BA - 10s of ROA fought alongside the defenders of the Prague uprising .
Battle off Cape Gata The Battle off Cape Gata , which took place June 17 , 1815 , was the first battle of the Second Barbary War . A squadron of vessels under the command of Stephen Decatur met and engaged the flagship of the Algerine Navy , the frigate " Meshuda " under Admiral Hamidou . After a sharp action , Decatur ' s squadron was able to capture the Algerine frigate and win a decisive victory over the Algerines . Background . Stephen Decatur ' s squadron left New York on May 20 with orders to destroy Algerine vessels and bring the Dey of Algiers to terms for attacking American shipping . He reached the Strait of Gibraltar on the 15th of June and began his mission . After learning that several Algerine cruisers had crossed the Strait of Gibraltar shortly before he did , Commodore Stephen Decatur , Jr . decided to give them chase and cut them off before they could reach Algiers . Battle . Commanding a fleet of nine vessels , he encountered the Algerine flagship " Mashouda " ( also spelled ' Mashuda ' or ' Meshuda ' ) of forty - six guns off Cape Gata , Spain . Being heavily outnumbered the admiral Rais Hamidou decided to try to flee to the port of Algiers , but was overtaken by the American squadron . After receiving damage from the and the admiral himself being wounded , the Algerines instead decided to change course and try for the safety of a neutral port along the Spanish coast . Unfortunately for the Algerines the " Constellation " and the sloop were able to close in and hammer the Algerine frigate . The Algerines resorted to replying with musket fire at close range , but Decatur was able to get his flagship the alongside the Algerine frigate . Firing a devastating broadside , the " Guerriere " crippled the enemy and killed the Algerine admiral . Decatur ceased firing , expecting the Algerine ship to surrender . Instead the Algerines continued to fight hopelessly with muskets as long as they were able . As a result Decatur had the sloop fire nine broadsides into the " Meshuda " with disastrous effect . The bloodied Algerines then struck their colors and ended the battle . Aftermath . Four hundred and six Algerines were captured , with most being wounded as well as thirty killed . The American losses were remarkably light losing only four dead and ten wounded all on the " Guerriere " . Most of the American casualties were due to a gun explosion , but a few were due to enemy action . After sending the captured frigate off to Cartagena Decatur continued to cruise towards Algiers , but his squadron encountered another Algerine cruiser off Cape Palos . After engaging and capturing the cruiser Decatur was finally able to make it to Algiers . The loss of the " Meshuda " and Admiral Hamidou greatly weakened Algerine morale as well as their naval capabilities . Once the American squadron reached Algiers they met no further opposition and by a mere show of force were able to bring the Dey to terms , thus ending the war . References .
