Corrected entry: In the final scene, when there was a skirmish between Alec Guinness, bridge demolition team and the Japanese soldiers, Guinness eventually falls on the detonator which blows up the bridge. But after that, all the Japanese soldiers just disappeared. Did that one guy with a mortar and a bunch of women take them all out?

Correction: There were not that many Japanese soldiers that left the bridge and we do see several bodies which is plausible given that the Japanese were in the open while the Brits were under cover. The other Japanese were killed in the bridge explosion.
