A. CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER.

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 because Indonesians
refused to surrender their weaponry to British army. British Army at that time was part of the Allied Forces. The
defiant Bung Tomo is the well-known revolutionary leader who played a very important role in this battle.
It all started because of a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and those in Surabaya,
under the command of Brigadier A.W.WS. Mallaby. Brigadier Mallaby already had an agreement with
Governor of East Java Mr. Surya. The agreement stated that British would not ask Indonesian troops and militia
to surrender their weapons.
However, a British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya. The leaflet told 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 about 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 to siege 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. Although the Indonesians defended the city heroically, the city was
conquered within 3 days and the whole battle lasted for 3 weeks. In total, between 6,000 and 16,000 Indonesians
died while casualties on the British side were about 600 to 2000.
 Battle of Surabaya caused Indonesia to lose weaponry which hampered the country‟s independence
struggle. However, the battle provoked Indonesian and international mass to rally for the country‟s
independence which made this battle especially important for Indonesian national revolution.
