935:. On the night of 25/26 January 15th Indian Bde began to withdraw down the coast road towards Senggarang and Benut, picking up the detachments of 53rd Bde as it went. But the road was now blocked by Japanese forces in several places. 11th Indian Division now organised a mixed column under Maj Banham ('Bancol') to re-open the road from Rengit to Senggarang. The two sections of B Trp were ordered to advance by leap-frog bounds so that they could provide continuous fire support for the scratch force of Norfolks and FMSV armoured cars. The armoured cars advanced under fire from both sides of the road until a road bock was encountered and the length of the road came under fire, the infantry being cut down, one howitzer lost and the other saved (together with many wounded) by 1002:(CB) fire missions against them. Roving sections were used so that the permanent artillery positions were nor revealed to the Japanese. But ammunition was restricted to an average of 20 rounds per gun to conserve stock for a long siege, and this was halved on 7 February. The gun areas, wagon lines and OPs came under Japanese fire and the telephone cables between guns and OPs were frequently cut, but the regiment (with its experience of coast defence deployments in the UK) had duplicated and even quadruplicated some of its links. A joint 135th Field Rgt/4th Mtn Bty OP under an overhanging rock at Bukit Mandai received 25 direct hits but the FOOs (Capt G. Keane, 135th Feld Rgt, and 586:. It was only now that the RA was producing enough trained battery staffs to begin the process of changing regiments from a two-battery to a three-battery organisation. (Three 8-gun batteries were easier to handle, and it meant that each infantry battalion in a brigade could be closely associated with its own battery.) On 27 November C Trp of 336 Bty and F Trp of 344 Bty were detached to become E and F Trps of a new battery initially designated as C Bty; consequently D and E Trps of 344 Bty were redesignated C and D. Inevitably C Bty now had a mixture of different equipment, and full implementation of the new organisation appears to have been delayed for some months. 1044:
rounds fired while the guns were already hooked into the limbers), and three tanks were knocked out by the troop of 273 A/T Bty. However, the order to withdraw did not reach 499 Bty's B Echelon in the wagon lines in a rubber plantation, and the men and vehicles with their FMSV liaison officers were captured in an ambush when they finally pulled out. 366 Battery withdrew from its rearguard after dark but one of its Quad gun tractors broke down, so it was overturned into a monsoon drain and the battery's

and placed in an anti-tank role facing north on Balestier Road. However, the attack did not materialise, but infantry fighting continued through the night. The following day a ceasefire was arranged; initially the British agreed to hand over all their guns, but orders arrived from ABDA that they were to be destroyed. 336 Battery did this by putting a shell in the breech, another in the barrel, and then pulling the firing lever from a safe distance using

from view, but no cover from incoming fire. With signal cable becoming scarce, 336's telephone exchange was responsible for the whole regiment. Both 11th Indian and 18th Divisions were trying to deploy their artillery in the same small area. Batteries of different regiments were mixed up, and firing in different directions in response to calls. A section of 135th Field Rgt firing over open sights narrowly missed the command post of B Trp,

During the night of 10/11 February the regiment carried out harassing fire (HF) tasks. In the prevailing confusion, a relief of the garrison on Pt 95 was bungled, and it had to be recaptured again in the morning, supported by 135th's guns.

On the evening of 8 February the Japanese began their landings. The OPs at Bukit Mandai and the water tower reported landing craft and 135th Field Rgt and 4th Mtn Bty dispersed them, but the main landings during the night were on the western side of the island. From there the Japanese advanced
