The Japanese continued boldly down the trunk road, assaulting and flanking any British position which tried to block the road. At Milestone 62, the British nearly stopped the Japanese cold. This time, a small Japanese detachment of four tanks and a platoon of infantry boldly flanked the position and sped down the road, penetrating just six miles north of the crucial Slim River bridge. Here they ran into the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, who had thrown up a hasty roadblock and committed their regimental armored cars to try and crush the penetration.

Trolak, Malaya

The Malayan Campaign was a military campaign fought by Allied and Axis forces in Malaya, from 8 December 1941 - 15 February 1942 during the Second World War. It was dominated by land battles between British Commonwealth army units, and the Imperial Japanese Army with minor skirmishes at the beginning of the campaign between British Commonwealth and Royal Thai Armed Forces. The Japanese had air and naval supremacy from the opening days of the campaign. For the British, Indian, Australian and Malayan forces defending the colony, the campaign was a total disaster. The operation 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, yet this did little to delay the Japanese. By the time the Japanese had captured Singapore, they had suffered 9,657 casualties; Allied losses totaled 145,703, including 15,703 casualties and 130,000 captured.
