The Japanese are holding a defensive position in their camp, awaiting to start their next attack down the Malay peninsula.
Second Indian Army, with a strong contingent of Gurkhas with mortars, and Vickers machine-guns gives much needed fire support to the force.
The Japanese open up with their rifles.
2 Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders form a line to take on a Japanese counter strike. But the highlanders begin to take heavy casualties.
Mortar and rifle grenades begin to clear out the Japanese trenches. The Japanese in turn are reduced to throwing grenades and rifle fire back at the advancing Gurkhas.
The Vickers gun teams occupy the Japanese trenches. With their gun taken out, the Japanese artillery crew rush forward with grenades in a Banzaii charge.
The lone Japanese machine-gunner keeps up a brisk fire on the Highlanders. With a weight of numbers, the Japanese are over run.
Singapore is safe for now.
