On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates Hari Pahlawan or Heroes Day

Berikut ini adalah pertanyaan dari muhammadfathan12 pada mata pelajaran B. inggris untuk jenjang Sekolah Menengah Atas

On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates Hari Pahlawan or Heroes Day in remembrance of the Battle ofSurabaya 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.

The 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.
