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 October and 15 December 1945 in Ambarawa,
Indonesia.
On 20 October 1945, Allied troops under the command of Brigadier Bethell landed in
Semarang to disarm Japanese troops. Initially, the troops were welcomed in the area, with
Central Java’s governor Wongsonegoro agreeing to provide them with food and other
necessities in return for the Allies’ promise to respect Indonesia’s sovereignty and
independence.
However, when Allied and NICA troops began freeing and arming freed Dutch POWs in
Ambarawa and Magelang, many locals were angered. Indonesian troops under the command
of Lieutenant Colonel M. Sarbini began besieging Allied troops stationed in Magelang in
reprisal for their attempted disarmament.
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 15December 1945, when Indonesia suceeded in
regaining control over Ambarawa and the Allies retreated to Semarang.
