Like most of there wins in there campaigns for the Pacific Ocean they where luck and most of the commanders at the time ether underestmat them or where trying to find out what to do or where surprise of the attacks you can look up some of this stuff on youtube channel World War 2 in real time by Indy Nidel it week by week he did not said the japanese got luck part that by my view of the events.

The issue with the alternative history of the British and Commonwealth troops rallying and defending Singapore against tired and low on ammo troops is the question of who would have been reinforced first? There were few additional troops in Australia and the supply lines from even India would have taken longer to get there than from Japanese bases. Singapore was never the impregnable fortress that British propaganda claimed it to be.

I believe that Singapore was not a impregnable fortress everything most fall to time but one of the key moments in the battle of Singapore was when the water resuver were take by the Japanese if the british where to lauch a counter attack then they would have hold out longer then the japanese have want which would have force a retrate cause they where unable to countuie the attack cause of low supply and out pesty the supply convoles.

I have never made a determined study of this WWII effort, but what I do know is that almost all of the defences of Singapore were facing the Ocean... where they expected the Japanese to attack from. But!... of course the unpredictable Japanese did just exactly the opposite... and... instead... attacked the most undefended side with great effort!... so there you go!.

That is one of the myths about Singapore, it wasn't the guns (most could turn or be re-positioned) but everything else the British did, that was the problem!

For those interested there is a great book on the subject:
Singapore: The Pregnable Fortress: A Study in Deception, Discord and Desertion by Peter Elphick. It covers the preparation for and then the entire Malaya Campaign. Churchill does not come out well in the book!
