Battle of Kuala Lumpur
The Battle of Kuala Lumpur was a battle between Japanese invasion forces and the British forces in Kuala Lumpur, then capital of the-Federated Malay States, a British protectorate.
==Background==
Japanese naval aircraft launched the first air raid over Kuala Lumpur on 21 and 22 December 1941. British anti-aircraft guns and RAF aircraft intercepted the attack and shot down one Japanese aircraft and damaged another.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/2585614 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://warbirdsforum.yuku.com/topic/1256/Air-Battle-Kuala-Lumpur-22-Dec-41#.Uc3OidgfgSk )〕 More raids followed on the 25th and 27th. The last bombing was on 10 January 1942, after Port Swettenham fell.
By 7 January, the northern part of Malaya, including Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu and the Straits Settlement of Penang had fallen into Japanese hands.
After the Battle of Slim River, the Japanese troops' next military objective was Kuala Lumpur. Being the capital of the Federated Malay States it was of utmost importance to the Japanese. Kuala Lumpur by then was also the capital of the State of Selangor. The city was also home to RAF Kuala Lumpur.
