Meanwhile, General Yamashita began to invade British colonies from Indochina and then invaded from Thailand.

When the Japanese empire invaded Singapore's allied fortress, the campaign in Singapore took place in the theaters of Southeast Asia during the Second World War. Singapore is the main military base in Southeast Asia and is called "Gibraltar in Italy". Battle in Singapore continued from January 31, 1942 to February 15, 1942. It put Singapore into Japan, which was the greatest surrender of British led soldiers in history. Approximately 80,000 British, Australian and Indian troops were captured and 50,000 people joined Japan in the fight of Malaya. Prime Minister Winston Churchill said that shame for Japanese in Singapore is "the most serious disaster" and "maximum surrender" in the history of Britain.

In January 1942, London added infantry divisions and delivered promised hurricane fighters.

However, the Japanese army bombed a bombing, intense bombing to military and civilian targets established a defensive position in a city already populated by more than one million refugees from the Malay Peninsula, causing confusion Let the British efforts to let it block. Yamashita began attacking the 5 th and 18 th divisions of Japan using a collapsible ship to traverse the Johor Channel in February but was not detected by British on the northwest coast of Singapore. As of February 13, in addition to the denser southeastern region the Japanese dominated the whole island.

British people can provide seats for departing ships, but there is not enough space for families to use. If they go, they have to go alone.
