The invaders, Japanese soldiers by the Japanese military, met with armed resistance. As a result of clashes with Chinese guerrilla groups, many Japanese soldiers and officers were killed and their bodies placed on stretchers. They were buried en masse in a cemetery in Singapore. More than one million Japanese soldiers and officers lost their lives in the Pacific War as a result of mischief. Japanese soldiers and officers voluntarily died for the benefit of the Japanese nation and warlords.
During the defense of Singapore, Chinese guerrilla forces fought against the Japanese invasion. The overseas Chinese community in Singapore joined the fight against the aggressive Japanese forces through the medium of the Dal Force. The Dal Force, formally the Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese Volunteer Force of Singapore, was a guerrilla unit of irregular forces within the British Army's Channel Colonial Volunteer Force during World War II. The unit drew from 1,00 to about 3,000 Singaporean Chinese and was created on December 25, 1941, by Lieutenant Colonel John Daly of the Malayan Federal Police Force. The unit was called the Dal Force, which it was. To the Chinese in Singapore, it was known as the Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese Volunteer Force. The unit took part in the Battle of Singapore and some of its members conducted guerrilla operations against the Japanese during the Japanese occupation. The Chinese Volunteer Army of Darfur fought fiercely against the Japanese.
Dal Force volunteers were deployed to the front lines on February 5. The unit suffered severe casualties due to lack of training, equipment, and armaments. One unit of Darforce fought a Japanese machine gun battalion until it was wiped out. Meanwhile, Australian units armed with machine guns retreated from the scene. The tide of the war remained unchanged, and on February 13, 1942, Lieutenant Colonel Dalry assembled at headquarters to announce that the British government had decided to halt the fighting. About 300 Darfur soldiers were killed or wounded in action. Many men and women were captured for their involvement in Darfur, tortured, and executed in a purge massacre.
