For the British, Indian, Australian and Malayan forces defending the colony, the campaign was a total disaster. The battle is notable for the Japanese use of bicycle infantry, which allowed troops to carry more equipment and swiftly move through thick jungle terrain. Royal Engineers, equipped with demolition charges, destroyed over a hundred bridges during the retreat, which did little to delay the Japanese. By the time the Japanese had captured Singapore, they had suffered 9,600 casualties."@en . "40000"^^ . . "--12-14"^^ . "5500"^^ . "British Malaya"@en . . . .
