Sound of gun shots reached the British Indian platoon. Dharam Singh’s sacrifice helped his colleagues in getting enough time to arm themselves and hide in the jungle. They were now ready for any assault and were aware that enemy is close by. Had this warning not reached them, probably all of them would have been captured or killed without much resistance. After several minutes when the firing in the jungle ceased, they waited tensely for the enemy to come by. The ambush party was ready with all the ammunitions they could gather. They were tired and almost beaten down but the face of death give them their energy back. As Bhagwati was one of the best adjusted persons in the jungle, he and his few colleagues climbed up the trees to check out the enemy. They had devised methods to pass information to their fellow soldiers by making sounds of animals and birds. They did not have to wait long. Japanese soldiers were sighted by Bhagwati within few minutes. The enemy was alert and were aware that more of the British soldiers would be hidden nearby. It was a cat and mouse game which went on for sometime. Both sides waited for the other to fire and reveal their position. After waiting for several hours, the enemy became relaxed and came out of their positions and started walking towards the lake. It was then the strike started. Enemy was surrounded from all sides and within few minutes the enemy was reduced by more than half.
