Battle of Bukit Timah



Battle of Bukit Timah, Singapore, 11 February, 1942.



On 11 February, the Japanese reached the Bukit Timah area. It was an important place as the British had stocked up food and ammunition as well as vehicle and machine parts there. The north-eastern slope of the hill faced a reservoir, which was vital source of water supply. It was here that the fiercest fighting took place. Armed only with swords, grenades, rifles and guns that they used for hunting birds and animals, the Chinese Volunteers fought bravely, side by side with the Allied soldiers. Many on both sides were killed. The Japanese later took revenge on the Chinese by killing all the Chinese men, women and children found in the village.



The Battle of Bukit Timah was a momentous battle fought during World War II on 11 February 1942 in Singapore between the Allied forces and the Japanese forces. The battle was one of the bloodiest during the Japanese conquest, with staggering casualties suffered on both the defending locals who fought with the Allied forces, and the invading Japanese forces.Bukit Timah was a strategic location where the British had stockpiled ammunition and armoured and transportation vehicles. The hill also faces a body of important resource - a reservoir.The battle led to the fall of Nee Soon, further paralysing the logistic ability of the defending forces. After the fall of Singapore, Japanese troops took revenge by mass-killing Chinese men during the Sook Ching operation. Like most historic battle sites, the exact location of the Battle of Bukit Timah is subject to severe stereotyping, categorised by many locals as a site of much paranormal activity.

Conflict in Timor



The Conflict in Timor, Timor, 19 February, 1942.



In 1941, the island of Timor was divided to the Portuguese Timor and the Dutch Timor. The Australian and Dutch governments agreed that, in the event Japan entered World War II on the Axis side, Australia would provide forces to reinforce Netherlands Timor with a 1,400 strong Australian Army detachment, known as Sparrow Force, initially commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William Leggatt. Sparrow Force joined about 650 Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) troops under Lt Col. Nico van Straten. The Allied land forces were supported by the 12 Lockheed Hudson light bombers of No. 2 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and the British Royal Artillery's 79th Light Anti-Aircraft Battery (which had served in the Battle of Britain).

Japanese landing began during the night of February 19–20, 1942, under the command of Col. Sadashichi Doi. The first contact was at Dili, the capital of Portuguese Timor. After surprise the garrison began an orderly retreat, covered by an 18-strong Australian commando section, which managed to kill an estimated 200 Japanese in the first hours of the battle.



On the same night, Netherlands Timor was under extremely intense air attacks, which had already caused the RAAF force to be withdrawn to Australia. The bombing was followed up by the landing of the main body of the 228th Regimental Group, supported by light tanks, on the undefended south west side of the island. The force advanced north, cutting off the Dutch positions in the west, and attacking the 2/40th Battalion positions at Penfui and a parallel Japanese thrust to the north-east aimed to cut off the Allied retreat. Sparrow Force HQ was immediately moved further east, towards Champlong.

Leggatt ordered the destruction of the airfield of Penfui, but the Allied line of flight had been cut off by the 3rd Yokosuka Special Naval Landing Force, near Usua. Sparrow Force HQ moved further eastward and Leggatt's men launched a sustained and devastating assault on the paratroopers, culminating in a bayonet charge. By the morning of February 23, the 2/40th had killed all but 78 of the paratroopers, but had been engaged from the rear by the main Japanese force once again.

With his soldiers running low on ammunition, exhausted and carrying 132 men with serious wounds, Leggatt consulted his men and then accepted a Japanese invitation to surrender, at Usua.
