On November 10, Indonesia celebrates 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.
The battle 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 October 27, 1945.
This action angered the Indonesian troops and militia leaders because they felt
betrayed.
On October 30, 1945, Briigadier 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
Christisonn brought in reinforcements to siege the city.
In the early morning of November 10, 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 Indonesian died while
casualties on the British side were about 600 to 2,000. 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 country’s
independence which made this battle especially important for Indonesian national
revolution.

4. Why do we celebrate Heroes Day?

a. To inaugurate the founding of Surabaya City
b. To honor the struggle of Indonesian heroics and heroes against colonialism
c. To remember the struggle of the youth to drive the Japanese troops out of
Surabaya
d. To remember the agreement when Indonesian troops and militia refused to
surrender their weapons
e. To commemorate the Battle of Surabaya which started on that very date in 1945

5. What triggered the anger of Indonesian soldiers in Surabaya?

a. The death of Brigadier A.W.WS. Mallaby
 b. The collapse of the Red Bridge because of the British bomb
c. The non-compliance with the agreement signed by Mr. Surya and Mallaby
d. The British troops’ attack towards Bung Tomo that suddenly occurred
e. The death of Indonesian fighters in Surabaya because of British betrayal
