Bandung as Sea of Fire

Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24, 1946. Within
seven hours, about 200,000 residents of Bandung burned their homes.
British troops as part of the Brigade MacDonald arrived in Bandung on October 12, 1945. Bandung
was deliberately burned by TRI and local people. There were black smoke billowing high into the air
everywhere. The British Army began to attack so fierce. The greatest battle happened in the Village name
Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where there were a large ammunition depot belonging to British. In this
battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia destroyed the ammunition depot.
The strategy to fire Bandung was considered because the power of TRI and people’s militia was not
comparable to the British forces and NICA. This incident inspired to create the famous song “Halo, Halo
Bandung”.
 EXERCISE
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 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.
