Mission 04 The Battle of Singapore, also known as the Fall of Singapore, was fought in the South-East Asian theatre of World War II when the Empire of Japan captured the British stronghold of Singapore—nicknamed the "Gibraltar of the East". Singapore was the major British military base in South-East Asia and was the key to British imperial interwar defence planning for South-East Asia and the South-West Pacific. The fighting in Singapore lasted from 8 to 15 February 1942. The Japanese victory was decisive, resulting in the Japanese capture of Singapore and the largest British surrender in history. General Tomoyuki Yamashita had led a force of about 30,000 down the Malayan Peninsula in the two months leading up to the battle. The British had considered the jungle terrain impassable and had prepared few defences. The Japanese, however, easily navigated the dense jungles, and pushed through the peninsula quickly. The 85,000 British were led by Arthur Percival, although many units were understrength, and most units were inexperienced. Despite this, they enjoyed a significant numerical and positional advantage on the island of Singapore. In the lead up to the battle the British destroyed the causeway into the city, forcing the Japanese to embark on a naval crossing. The island was so important that Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered Percival to fight bitterly to the last man. Despite being outnumbered three to one, superior Japanese leadership, and numerous failings on the part of the British allowed the Japanese to establish and hold a beachhead starting on 8 February. Percival had grossly misallocated troops on the island, and the Japanese attacked the weakest part of the lines. Percival also failed to reinforce the attack in a timely fashion, allowing the Japanese to establish a beachhead. Numerous communication and leadership failures beset the British, and the poor pre-battle planning left few entrenchments or reserves near the beachhead. As the week pushed on, the Japanese took more and more of the island, and the British supply became critical. By the 15th, nearly one million civilians in the city had fled into the remaining Allied held area, a mere 1% of the island. The civilian water supply had been bombed relentlessly by Japanese air attacks, and was expected to fail within days if the attack did not stop. Unbeknownst to the British, by the 15th the Japanese were also nearly at the end of their supplies, with only hours of shells left. General Yamashita feared that Percival would discover the Japanese numerical inferiority, and engage in costly house-to-house fighting. In a desperate bluff, Yamashita demanded unconditional surrender. In the afternoon of the 15th, Percival ignored orders and capitulated. About 80,000 British, Indian and Australian troops in Singapore became prisoners of war, joining 50,000 taken by the Japanese in the earlier Malayan Campaign; many would die performing forced labour. About 40,000 mostly Indian soldiers would join the Indian National Army and fight alongside the Japanese. Churchill was shocked, and called it the "worst disaster" in British military history. It greatly decreased confidence in the British army, and provided the Japanese with much needed resources, as well as an important strategic position. The city would stay in Japanese hands until the end of the war. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/gabrielreggiani/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My PC: ~INTEL CORE I5-9400F ~ASUS TUF B360M-PLUS ~WATER COOLER COOLERMASTER ML120l TUF RGB ~ASUS XONAR DGX 5.1 ~RTX 2060 EVGA KO 6GB GDDR6 ~16GB DDR4 2400mhz HYPERX FURY ~CORSAIR VS600 600W 80 PLUS ~SEAGATE 1000GB (1TB) ~SSD KINGSTON 240GB ~COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX Q300 TUF ~RAZER DEATHADDER 3000DPI ~RAZER DEATHSTALKER ESSENTIAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtjc1WOx1MlauYJ9aMUWgBw/join ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gebYR56PRgc
