The Battle of Medan Area

The Battle of Medan area was a battle between allied forces and the Indonesian Army in
Medan, North Sumatera, and its surrounding area during the Indonesia national revolution. The
conflict is also known in Indonesia as The Battlefield, due to the similarity of the Indonesian
words for Medan and field.

As the second world wear neared its end, the Allies agreed that post-war, the Dutch East
Indies would come under the authority of the South East Asia Command headed by
British Admiral Lord Louis Mounbatten. Following the surrender of Japan, British troops began
landing in Sumatra and Java to release prisoners-of-war, repatriate Japanese troops and
maintain law and order pending the return of the Dutch colonial authorities. Meanwhile, on 17
August 1945, Sukarno proclaimed Indonesia Independence in Jakarta, and
appointed Muhammad Hassan as governor of Sumatra. However, news of the proclamation
was only announced by Hasan in Medan on 30 September. The Allies, who had just liberated
Indonesia from its Japanese occupation landed in Medan on 9 October 1945 under the
leadership of Ted Kelly, with the intention of reestablishing Dutch rule over the islands. Allied
troops from British and the Netherlands were soon joined by the NICA, in preparation for a
Dutch takeover. The arrival of the Allies and the NICA angered many local Indonesians, who
saw this as an attack on their country's new sovereignty.
On 13 October 1945, the Indonesian Army launched attacks against troops from the Allies and
the NICA in an effort to seize government buildings formerly occupied by the Japanese. The
British delegation issued an ultimatum to the Indonesian people to disarm and hand over their
weapons to the Allies, which was promptly ignored.
On 1 December 1945, the Allies attempted to create a buffer zone and planted signs inscribed
with the message "Fixed Medan Area Boundaries" in the outskirts of Medan. Nine days later,
on 10 December 1945, the Allies and the NICA launched a massive attack against Indonesian
troops stationed in Medan. The attack caused many casualties on both sides. In April 1946, the
Allies succeeded in occupying Medan, and Indonesian forces retreated to Pemantangsiantar.
Indonesia's local government established the People's Army Commando Regiment of Medan
in order to continue their resistance against the Allies. Commander Initerus led troops in an
insurgency against the Allies in Medan until the end of Dutch rule in Indonesia in 1949.

The Battle of Ambarawa

The Battle of Ambarawa was a battle between the recently created Indonesian army
and the British Army that occurred between 20 November and 15 December 1945
in Ambarawa, Indonesia.
On 20 November 1945, Allied troops under the command of Brigadier Bethell landed
in Semarang to disarm Japanese troops and liberate POWs still detained in concentration
camps in Central Java. Initially, the troops were welcomed in the area, with Central Java's
governor Wongso Negoro agreeing to provide them with food and other necessities in return
for the Allies' promise to respect Indonesia's sovereignty and independence. The Netherlands
Indies Civil Administration (NICA) were also in Semarang, and welcomed the British
presence.
However, when Allied and NICA troops began freeing and arming freed Dutch POWs
in Ambarawa and Magelang, many locals were angered. Relations were further ruined when
the Allies began disarming members of the Indonesian Army. Indonesian troops under the
command of Lieutenant Colonel M. Sarbini began besieging Allied troops stationed in
Magelang in reprisal for their attempted disarmament. Indonesian
president Sukarno intervened in the situation to calm tensions, and the Allies secretly left
Magelang to their stronghold in Ambarawa. Sarbini's regiment followed the Allies in pursuit,
and was later joined by other Indonesian troops from Ambarawa, Suruh, and Surakarta. Allied
troops were later driven out of the nearby village of Jambu by the combined force of the
Indonesian Army.
At the village of Ngipik, Allied troops were once again forced to retreat by the
Indonesian Army, after attempting to establish control over two villages around Ambarawa.
Indonesian troops under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Isdiman tried to free the two
villages, but Isdiman was killed in action before reinforcements arrived. Commander of
Division V Banyumas, Colonel Soedirman, vowed to avenge Isdiman's death and called in
reinforcements to besiege Allied positions in Central Java.
 On the morning of 23 November 1945, Indonesian troops began firing on Allied troops
stationed in Ambarawa. A counterattack by the Allies forced the Indonesian Army to retreat to
the village of Bedono.

On 11 December 1945, Soedirman held a meeting with various commanders of the

Indonesian Army. The next day at 4:30 AM, the Indonesian Army launched an assault on the
Allies in Ambarawa. Indonesian artillery pounded Allied positions, which were later overrun
by infantry. When the Semarang-Ambarawa highway was captured by Indonesian troops,
Soedirman immediately ordered his forces to cut off the supply routes of the remaining Allied
troops by using a pincer maneuver. The battle ended four days later on 15 December 1945,
when Indonesia succeeded in regaining control over Ambarawa and the Allies retreated to
Semarang.
The Palagan Ambarawa Monument in Ambarawa was erected in memory of the battle. The
battle's anniversary is also celebrated as Indonesian Army Day (Hari Juang Kartika) by the personnel
and veterans of the Indonesian Army.
