Source text - English The Japanese Army on the March
“Certainly we shall conquer”
The Japanese 25th Army invaded Malaya with experienced troops and each victory bolstered their spirits. By the time they occupied Malaya and prepared to invade Singapore, their morale was high, even though they were still outnumbered by Allied forces.
The attack on Singapore began with a diversionary attack on Pulau Ubin on 7 February 1942. The British believed that this was the actual invasion, but the Japanese attacked in full force on Singapore’s northwest coast the next day. The Australian troops defending the latter were overwhelmed and retreated to the Jurong Line to regroup. The Japanese pressed on with their attack, forcing the Allies to abandon the Jurong Line on 10 February.
The next day, the Japanese attacked and took Bukit Timah, which gave them control of military stockpiles and the main road to Singapore city. Two days later, on 13 February, they attacked and captured Pasir Panjang Ridge, which controlled access to a number of British military installations at Alexandra.
Operation Jaywick and Double Tenth Incident
In September 1943, a special military operation was carried out against Japanese shipping vessels in the Singapore harbour. The mission – Operation Jaywick – was led by members of Special Operations Australia (SOA) from Z Special Unit, which consisted of both British and Australian soldiers. The Z Special Unit commandos set out from Western Australia on the vessel MV Krait, making their way to Singapore where they succeeded in destroying six Japanese vessels. While the crew managed to escape, a group of civilian internees in Changi Prison were taken away for interrogation by the Japanese on suspicion of being involved in the raid. Elizabeth Choy and her husband were also arrested in the aftermath of what became known as the Double Tenth Incident, when the Kempeitai (Japanese military police) raided the cells in Changi Prison on 10 October 1943 and discovered that the Choys had been smuggling supplies into the prison to help the internees.
