 THE BATTLE OF SURABAYA

On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates Hari Pahlawan or Heroes Day in remembrance of the Battle of
Surabaya which started on that very date in the year 1945. The bloody battle took place as Indonesians refused
to surrender their weaponry to British army which was part of the Allied forces then. The defiant Bung Tomo is
the well-known revolutionary leader who played a pivotal role in this battle.

It all started due to a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and those in Surabaya, under
the command of Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby. While Brigadier Mallaby already had an agreement with Governor of
East Java Mr. Surya that British would not ask Indonesian troops and militia to surrender their weapons, a British
plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya requesting Indonesians to do otherwise on 27 October
1945. This action angered the Indonesian troops and militia leaders because they felt betrayed.

On 30 October 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed as he was approaching the British troops’ post near
Jembatan Merah or Red Bridge, Surabaya. There were many reports surrounding the death but it was widely
believed that the Brigadier was murdered by Indonesian militia. Looking at this situation, Lieutenant General Sir
Philip Christison brought in reinforcements in preparation of sieging the city.
 In the early morning of 10 November 1945, British troops began to advance into Surabaya with cover
from both naval and air bombardment. Despite the heroic resistance from the Indonesians, half of the city was
conquered within 3 days while the whole battle lasted for 3 weeks. In total, between 6,300 and 15,000
Indonesians died while casualties on the British side are only numbered at about 600.

Battle of Surabaya caused Indonesia to lose weaponry which hampered the country’s independence
struggle. However, the same battle provoked Indonesian and international mass to rally for the country’s
independence which made this battle especially important for Indonesian national revolution.

 BANDUNG, THE SEA OF FIRE

Bandung, the capital city of West Java Province has long been known for its beautiful girls, and great
sceneries. Bandung is one of the largest cities in Indonesia, and home to several most interesting
shopping outlets and hotels, as well as great food and entertainment. As a city, Bandung is visited by
more than 2 million visitors from neighboring cities like Jakarta, Cirebon, Jogja, and one of the most
visited city in Asia. In short word, ATTRACTIVE. I myself visited Bandung and its surrounding for
more than 20 times, when i was working in Jakarta, and managed to master the Sundanese language,
hehe.

But, many people forget or event do not know that 65 years ago, it was a mere ashes and ruins.
Bandung was one of the fiercest battle places. Here's the story...

?In 1942, after Japanese soldiers landed in coastal areas of Java, the Dutch retreated from Jakarta to
Bandung, but were driven out from there as well and surrendered soon after. After the end of the war,
the Dutch, along with winning British army, came back with a vengeance and on March 24, 1946, An
ultimatum was given by the British commander in Bandung for the Indonesian combatants in
Bandung to leave the city.

In response, the southern part of Bandung was deliberately burned down in an act of defiance as they
left ; an event which came to be known as Bandung Lautan Api (or Bandung Sea of Fire). The
revolutionary song "Halo-halo Bandung" was sung by hundreds of Indonesian nationalists in
Bandung, and it is now a very popular national song.

During the evacuations in March 1946, Mohammad Toha, a member of Indonesian militia, smuggled
several sticks of dynamite past Japanese and Dutch troops, and into the Dutch military Headquarters
in Dayeuh Kolot. He detonated the dynamite in warehouses of ammunition, killing himself and
several Dutch, Japanese troops in the area. The explosion created a small lake ("situ") in Dayeuh
Kolot. The main street in the area is called "Mohammad Toha Street".

For many, independence was merely a gift, for Indonesians, it was gained little by little, trough fiecer
battles, costing countless lives.
