  • Australians Into Battle : the Ambush at Gema S
    CHAPTER 1 1 AUSTRALIANS INTO BATTLE : THE AMBUSH AT GEMA S ENERAL Percival had decided before the debacle at Slim River G that the most he could hope to do pending the arrival of further reinforcements at Singapore was to hold Johore. This would involve giving up three rich and well-developed areas—the State of Selangor (includin g Kuala Lumpur, capital of the Federated Malay States), the State of Negr i Sembilan, and the colony of Malacca—but he thought that Kuala Lumpu r could be held until at least the middle of January . He intended that the III Indian Corps should withdraw slowly to a line in Johore stretching from Batu Anam, north-west of Segamat, on the trunk road and railway , to Muar on the west coast, south of Malacca . It should then be respon- sible for the defence of western Johore, leaving the Australians in thei r role as defenders of eastern Johore. General Bennett, however, believing that he might soon be called upo n for assistance on the western front, had instituted on 19th December a series of reconnaissances along the line from Gemas to Muar . By 1st January a plan had formed in his mind to obtain the release of his 22nd Brigade from the Mersing-Jemaluang area and to use it to hold the enem y near Gemas while counter-attacks were made by his 27th Brigade on the Japanese flank and rear in the vicinity of Tampin, on the main road near the border of Malacca and Negri Sembilan . Although he realised tha t further coastal landings were possible, he thought of these in terms of small parties, and considered that the enemy would prefer to press forwar d as he was doing by the trunk road rather than attempt a major movement by coastal roads, despite the fact that the coastal route Malacca-Muar- Batu Pahat offered a short cut to Ayer Hitam, far to his rear .

  • 1 4 NAKED ISLAN D HE Situation Facing General Wavell, As He Saw It
    CHAPTER 1 4 NAKED ISLAN D HE situation facing General Wavell, as he saw it at the beginning o f T February, was that Ambon Island had fallen to the enemy on 31st January; there was still a convoy at Balikpapan which might at any time move south on Macassar or Bandjermasin ; and a third force, reported to be in the South China Sea, might be heading for Singapore or Sumatra. Rangoon was endangered by the enemy advance in Burma, and the Britis h forces had been driven from the mainland of Malaya. In Wavell's view much depended on the ability of the forces on Singapore Island to make a prolonged resistance . He considered that an active defence should enable the island to be held for some time—perhaps for some months—while th e forces at his command were being strengthened. Mr Churchill's thoughts had turned, while he was concluding his talks in Washington, to the possibility of a withdrawal to Singapore Island such as had now occurred. "How many troops would be needed to defend this area?" he had asked in a message to General Wavell on 15th January. "What means are there of stopping landings [such] as were made in Hong Kong? What are defences and obstructions on landward side? Are yo u sure you can dominate with fortress cannon any attempt to plant sieg e batteries? Is everything being prepared, and what has been done about the useless mouths? "1 These questions, which but for his preoccupation with more immediat e issues he might well have asked much earlier, brought a disconcertin g reply.

  • Malaya Would Require at The
    Chapter Four­ Preparing for War The Australian army had plenty of experience in transforming recruits into soldiers at home. It had experienced training and fighting both in the Middle East and Western Europe. However, it had no experience at all of what in 1940 was known as the Far East. In Australia, the training of the three battalions of the 22nd Brigade had been along what were then conventional lines, suited to the wide spaces of the desert or the fields of Western Europe. It had been anticipated that the posting to Malaya would require at the very least some alteration to the training regime. With time, it in fact precipitated a raft of changes in many facets of army life. In Malaya the AIF faced two challenges from the outset. The soldiers needed to acclimatise to the different conditions that pertained in a new and unfamiliar environment-the climate, the terrain, the local foodstuffs and even their drinking water which had always to be boiled. They also had to deal with what were often inappropriate, inadequate or insufficient clothing, equipment, weapons and ammunition. The soldiers of the 211 8th Battalion had no more say in the suitability or quality of their equipment than they had had in the location of their posting. While they could expect to be paid, fed, clothed, equipped, trained and eventually taken to the war, they were justified in concluding that "the AIF in Malaya was ... low on the priority list as far as food, clothes and equipment was concerned.") They had no option but to put up with the chronic shortages that affected the various aspects of their daily life and work.
