dbo:abstract
  • The 56th Independent Mixed Brigade was an Imperial Japanese Army unit of World War II. It was raised in June 1944 to reinforce the defences of Japanese-occupied Borneo, and was initially stationed in the north-east of the island. In early 1945 most of the brigade's units were ordered to move to the Brunei Bay area of west Borneo, with the brigade's personnel subsequently making a difficult march across the centre of the island. During June and July 1945 the 56th Independent Mixed Brigade saw combat against Australian forces in the Borneo Campaign. Its units were greatly under-strength at this time due to the casualties suffered while moving across Borneo, and the elements which engaged Australian forces were rapidly defeated. The remainder of the brigade withdrew into central Borneo, and surrendered to the Australians following the end of the war. (en)
  • La 56e brigade mixte indépendante est une brigade de l'Armée impériale japonaise créée en 1944 pour renforcer les défenses de Bornéo et initialement stationnée dans le nord-est de l'île. Au début de 1945, la plupart des unités de la brigade reçoivent l'ordre de manœuvrer vers la région de la baie de Brunei au nord-ouest de Bornéo. Elles commencent alors une marche difficile à travers le centre de l'île. Un grand nombre de soldats tombent malades pendant la traversée, et les quatre bataillons de combat sont considérablement en deçà de leurs effectifs nominaux au moment de l'arrivée dans la baie. Au cours des mois de juin et juillet 1945, la brigade engage le combat contre les forces australiennes dans la campagne de Bornéo. Ses unités sont largement en sous-effectif en raison des pertes subies précédemment, et les éléments qui combattent sont rapidement défaits. Le reste de la brigade se retire dans le centre de Bornéo, et se rend aux Australiens après la fin de la guerre. (fr)
