0:03 Time erodes our memory of a person's 0:07 role. 0:09 Time also swallows various historical 0:12 narratives that occurred in this land. 0:17 >> History is determined by the victors. 0:21 >> For those who took part in those events 0:23 , oh my. 0:36 Figures and events that colored the 0:38 course of history become valuable 0:40 records for this country. 0:42 From various perspectives, we have 0:44 gathered them into one tapestry of 0:46 figures and events. 0:54 The acoustic notes of the song Tiger 0:56 Shark, composed by Peter Hard Genson, 0:59 flowed rhythmically after the Maghrib 1:01 adhan echoed. 1:03 For a moment, the music group from the 1:05 Hawaiian Islanders was played. 1:08 The youth of Surabaya immediately 1:10 approached the loudspeakers hanging in 1:12 the neighborhoods. 1:15 At the end of the song, a thundering 1:17 voice was heard giving a greeting. 1:23 >> Freedom! 1:24 Brothers and sisters, 1:28 the common people throughout Indonesia, 1:32 especially you, the residents of 1:35 Surabaya. 1:38 >> That call ignited the spirit of the 1:41 people of Surabaya to fight. 1:44 >> All of our brothers and sisters, we, the 1:46 Indonesian people in Surabaya, will 1:48 accept the challenge of the British army 1:51 . 1:53 And if the British army leadership in 1:55 Surabaya wants to hear the answer of the 1:57 Indonesian people, wants to hear the 1:59 answer of all Indonesians in Surabaya. 2:03 Listen to this, British soldiers. 2:06 This is our answer. 2:08 This is the answer of the people of 2:09 Surabaya. 2:10 This is the answer of the Indonesian 2:12 youth to you all. 2:15 Hey, British soldiers. 2:18 As long as the Indonesian bastions still 2:21 have red blood that fears letting the 2:24 red and white cloth be pulled down, for 2:28 as long as that, we will never surrender 2:31 to anyone. 2:34 Brothers and sisters of Surabaya, be 2:36 ready for a critical situation. 2:41 >> Sutomo, or familiarly called Bung Tomo, 2:44 was not a figure of the independence 2:46 movement nor an ideologue. 2:49 Yet his figure is always attached to the 2:52 battle of November 10, 1945, in Surabaya 2:55 . 2:57 Sutomo, who was 25 at the time, was a 2:59 young journalist working at Domei, a 3:02 news agency formed by the Japanese that 3:04 became the precursor to the Antara news 3:07 agency. 3:09 >> So my father's profession was a 3:11 journalist, and before that, he also 3:13 frequently published newspapers during 3:14 the Dutch era, which were repeatedly 3:16 shut down by the Dutch for attacking the 3:18 Dutch colonial youth. 3:24 >> In Surabaya, the Dutch people who were 3:27 members of RAPWI were headquartered and 3:29 stayed at the Hotel Yamato, or Hotel 3:31 Orange during the Dutch era, now known 3:33 as Hotel Majapahit. 3:36 Feeling emboldened, some Dutch people 3:38 under the leadership of Mr. Ploegman, on 3:41 the night of September 18th around 9:00 3:44 PM, raised the Dutch flag on the north 3:46 side of the hotel. 3:50 The next day, September 19th, the youths 3:52 of Surabaya saw it and were angry 3:54 because they felt the Dutch had insulted 3:57 Indonesia's sovereignty and clearly 3:59 intended to rule again in Indonesia. 4:02 >> Look, red, white, and blue. 4:10 >> This news quickly spread throughout 4:13 Surabaya. In a short time, Tunjungan 4:15 Street was filled with angry people. 4:18 >> Red, white, and blue, that was because 4:20 it was there, at Hotel Yamato at that 4:22 time, which is now Hotel Majapahit. 4:25 Finally, at that time, word spread, and 4:28 as the day went on, more youths gathered 4:30 to see the flag, reaching hundreds and 4:33 even thousands. 4:35 Only after there were thousands, someone 4:38 commanded to be brave. 4:41 Because we were already quite numerous 4:44 and it was impossible for them to fight 4:47 back, it turned into a burning spirit to 4:50 rebel. 4:52 We went in, went in near, even near 4:53 there, he was brandishing his revolver. 5:01 >> President Sudirman, accompanied by 5:03 youths Sidik and Haryono, immediately 5:05 met Mr. Ploegman to ask him to lower the 5:08 Dutch flag, but he refused. 5:13 Outside the hotel, the youths became 5:15 increasingly aggressive, some engaged in 5:17 fights and others climbed the flagpole. 5:22 Kusno Wibowo succeeded in lowering the 5:25 Dutch flag and tearing off the blue part 5:27 , so it became red and white and was 5:30 hoisted. 5:36 Sutomo, who was working at the Domei 5:38 news agency at the time, witnessed the 5:39 event from up close. 5:42 Three days before the flag incident on 5:45 September 16, Bung Tomo led the Republic 5:48 of Indonesia rebel ranks to seize the 5:50 Don Bosco armory, the largest arsenal 5:53 owned by Japan. 5:56 Finally, Major Harsono, the highest 5:58 officer in charge of the Don Bosco 6:01 arsenal, agreed to surrender the armory 6:03 to the Indonesian fighters represented 6:05 by Mohamad Yasin. 6:09 Thousands of weapons, mortars, grenades 6:11 , artillery, and even anti-aircraft guns 6:14 were successfully seized by the people 6:16 of Surabaya in a short time. 6:19 The people of Surabaya, who had been 6:21 starving just months ago, from that day 6:23 on held weapons and were ready to fight 6:25 . 6:27 >> On the afternoon of November 10, a 6:30 carriage of rifles was sent from Jogja. 6:35 It entered Wonokromo Station. 6:40 At night, during the Isha prayer, this 6:42 carriage was pushed from Wonokromo 6:44 Station. 6:47 It was pushed by many people together. 6:48 Why? It could not be pulled by a 6:51 locomotive. If there was a locomotive, 6:53 the sound would be heard. 6:55 They could be shot by the British, so it 6:57 was pushed until it reached Kota Station 7:00 . 7:01 At Kota Station, the fighters were 7:02 gathered. Come on, whoever is carrying a 7:04 sharpened bamboo, switch to a rifle. 7:07 Given a rifle, given bullets, and so on 7:09 . 7:10 Everything was distributed. 7:13 On the morning of November 11, when the 7:16 clashes began. 7:20 Only the people who couldn't load the 7:22 bullets, they couldn't. 7:24 Yes. The bullet is in, fire. 7:29 They were confused because they weren't 7:31 trained. 7:32 Yes. In the end, the British advanced, 7:34 so the rifles were left behind, and the 7:36 sharpened bamboos were carried again. 7:39 The Battle of Surabaya is unique, the 7:41 most unique. 7:46 Until the battle of November 10 broke 7:48 out. 7:52 The TKR involved there was led by Major 7:57 Iskak Idris. He was a man trained by 7:59 PETA back then. 8:02 His artillery troops used cannons that 8:05 belonged to the Japanese. 8:08 Seized, then used by the fighters. 8:12 The cannons were fired to retaliate 8:14 against British attacks. 8:18 Most of them actually fell in the 8:20 territory of the Indonesian fighters 8:23 themselves. True. 8:25 Wow, and what happened? 8:27 The people of Surabaya protested. 8:30 Protested. 8:34 What was Major Iskak Idris's answer? 8:43 Trained at 5:00 AM, firing cannons at 8:45 7:00 AM. 8:46 Two hours, of course, they made mistakes 8:48 . Yes. 8:53 At 10:00 PM, uh, on the night of 8:55 November 10, Bung Tomo was still giving 8:58 a speech. 9:01 Brothers, anyone among you who can 9:05 operate a cannon, please sign up. 9:10 We have cannons, but we can't operate 9:13 them. 9:14 That was November 10. 9:15 Yes. 9:18 So in October, the people of Surabaya 9:20 had already attacked the Japanese base 9:22 in Moro Krembangan. 9:24 That was an airfield. 9:25 Yes. 9:26 There, the Japanese just gave it to the 9:29 people of Surabaya. 9:31 Including 100 fighter planes. 9:35 Yes. 9:36 The Japanese fighter planes were the 9:38 most, you know, the most effective 9:40 against Allied fighter planes. 9:42 There were 100 planes there. 9:44 Please, feel free to use it. 9:47 Come November 10th, not a single one 9:49 could take flight. 9:52 Not one. 9:54 Yes. 9:55 That November 10th event, we truly had 9:58 no preparations whatsoever. 10:01 Just the determination of jihad 10:02 fisabilillah, that was all. 10:04 That is a fact. 10:08 >> Under the DPR, Sutomo formed a rebel 10:11 radio station. 10:13 In the early days, this radio station 10:15 borrowed a government-owned transmitter 10:16 . 10:18 The origins of the rebel radio were 10:20 inseparable from the help of Mustopo, 10:22 the then-head of the East Java People's 10:24 Security Agency. 10:27 Soldiers led by Mustopo succeeded in 10:29 seizing a radio transmitter from the 10:31 Japanese and donated it to Bung Tomo. 10:36 Mustopo also advised Bung Tomo to hide 10:38 the transmitter in Tegalsari to avoid 10:40 Allied tracking. 10:44 Armed with that simple transmitter, Bung 10:46 Tomo's orations officially aired on the 10:49 rebel radio on October 15, 1945. 10:53 From the headquarters at Jalan Mawar 10:56 Number 10, Surabaya, the rebel radio 10:58 broadcasted its signal. 11:01 Radio Republik Indonesia, or RRI, even 11:04 rebroadcast Bung Tomo's speeches and 11:07 spread them to major cities like Malang 11:10 , Mojokerto, Madiun, Solo, and 11:12 Yogyakarta. 11:15 >> And we are confident, brothers and 11:17 sisters, that in the end, victory will 11:19 surely fall into our hands. 11:21 Because God is always on the side of the 11:23 righteous. 11:24 Believe me, brothers and sisters, God 11:26 will protect us all. 11:29 Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar 11:32 . 11:34 >> Through Bung Tomo's speeches, many 11:37 youths from outside Surabaya flocked to 11:39 the city to obtain weapons and even 11:42 fight alongside the people of Surabaya. 11:47 >> Bung Tomo knew there was no other phrase 11:50 to move the nation forward except for 11:53 understanding that "Allahu Akbar." 11:58 That was the phrase chosen by Bung Tomo 12:00 , and it truly succeeded. 12:04 As stated by Ricklefs in his book, *A 12:06 History of Modern Indonesia*, Surabaya 12:09 was filled with scholars and students ( 12:11 santri) from all corners of the region 12:14 gathering there. 12:17 So much so that the British were 12:19 overwhelmed facing the fighting spirit 12:21 of the santri. 12:22 Death is beautiful. 12:25 Death is not a frightening thing for the 12:28 santri; it is heavenly. 12:32 Therefore, even with only bamboo spears 12:34 , they moved forward. 12:37 If you had seen the trains full of 12:39 santri with their bamboo spears, wow, 12:42 masyaallah. 12:44 The mothers would intercept the trains 12:46 to make them stop, for what? To provide 12:48 ketupat, to provide provisions. 12:50 Basically, they sincerely gave food so 12:52 they wouldn't go hungry. 12:54 I remember very well how great the 12:57 nation's spirit was; everyone supported 13:00 the war, specifically the war for 13:03 independence, and every mother was proud 13:06 if her son died a martyr. 13:10 Like that. 13:11 Even though we cried. 13:14 >> If we look at Bung Tomo himself, he 13:18 certainly saw that potential with 13:21 endless spirit, because through his 13:25 fiery efforts, he succeeded in stirring 13:29 the people's resolve. 13:34 It was essentially a theory of agitation 13:37 and propaganda. 13:41 >> At that time, even in Makassar, when we 13:44 heard Bung Tomo, it was like, wow. 13:48 Everyone was moved, and we formed our 13:50 own ranks there. We hadn't even gone to 13:52 Java yet. 13:53 People said the Dutch were coming back, 13:54 so we fought the Dutch. 13:56 It's just that, at that time, my thought 13:58 was there were no troops yet, so we had 14:00 to form our own. 14:02 That day, July 17th, everyone flew the 14:06 flag; every house had red and white 14:10 colors, it was so joyful. 14:14 But then the Dutch entered with the 14:15 Australians, and aided by the 14:16 Australians, everything was lost again. 14:18 That's when we went into guerrilla 14:19 warfare. 14:21 From there we started. 14:23 From the south, I walked all the way to 14:25 Sumenep on foot, and even to Parepare. 14:29 We traveled across half of Sulawesi. 14:32 >> On October 25, 1945, the British 14:35 Empire's 49th Infantry Brigade, 14:38 consisting of Indian soldiers, landed in 14:42 Surabaya led by Brigadier AWS Mallaby; 14:45 they didn't come to Surabaya to fight, 14:49 but only to disarm the Japanese troops. 14:54 Upon arriving in Surabaya, Mallaby found 14:56 that the Japanese troops had already 14:58 been disarmed by the militias, the army 15:00 , and the people of Surabaya. 15:03 Mallaby and all his soldiers did not 15:05 expect to face the "Arek-arek Suroboyo" 15:08 (Surabaya youth) who were already 15:10 prepared to fight. 15:13 On October 28th at 5:00 PM, all the 15:15 people of Surabaya simultaneously 15:17 attacked the British troops 'defenses. 15:22 The rebel radio repeatedly broadcast 15:24 calls for the people to take up arms and 15:27 attack the British troops' positions 15:29 simultaneously in the afternoon. 15:33 And that very night, sporadic fighting 15:35 broke out in various places in the city 15:38 of Surabaya. 15:41 >> This was a major battle, this Surabaya 15:44 one. 15:46 Why? 15:48 The coastal cannons brought down by the 15:51 British were huge guns. 15:55 So, if these cannons were fired, a ship 15:58 would be hit—bang—cut in two and sink. 16:02 That's how massive those cannons were. 16:05 They were aimed at Surabaya. 16:08 If they fired at a building, it would 16:10 hit it and the building would collapse 16:11 immediately. 16:13 It would crumble. 16:16 So we saw these things called Panzer 16:19 Bren carriers coming down from the ships 16:22 . 16:24 Their numbers were hard to tell. 16:26 But they were large and started entering 16:28 . 16:30 And when attacking Surabaya, the British 16:33 used five generals to lead the troops. 16:38 Meaning, this was truly serious. 16:41 What they didn't calculate was the 16:44 cavalry division commander, Brigadier 16:48 General Lodewijk Simon. 16:52 He was leading the troops from an 16:53 aircraft. 16:54 "Come on, move over here," the formation 16:57 was visible from the plane. 17:00 He led from the plane because he thought 17:03 the people of Surabaya only carried 17:06 rifles and... 17:09 sharpened bamboo, spears, krises, and 17:11 various things. There was no way they 17:14 could shoot at an airplane flying that 17:16 high. 17:19 As it turned out, in the area of... 17:23 uh, Pesamun, a bit south of Surabaya, 17:26 there was an anti-aircraft... 17:30 gunner. 17:33 He was also just learning. 17:36 This was loot from the Japanese. 17:38 His name was Mr. Gombred. 17:41 When the plane passed, he fired at it. 17:44 He missed, along with his friends. 17:56 Then, when the plane passed overhead, he 17:58 fired at it again. Yes, it hit that 18:01 plane. 18:02 It fell. 18:03 And what happened? Brigadier General 18:05 Lodewijk Simon. 18:07 He died. 18:08 So, in the Battle of Surabaya, two 18:10 generals died. 18:12 First Mallaby, second Lodewijk Simon. 18:17 How could they fight back, not being 18:18 experts in war, yet be able to destroy 18:20 them? 18:21 That battle. 18:23 This is that event. 18:26 And the majority were santri (students 18:26 of Islamic boarding schools). 18:29 That is consistent across all the 18:30 testimonies from the people. 18:32 Yes. 18:34 Because the tradition of war in Surabaya 18:36 , the brawling in Surabaya, included 18:38 young children too. 18:40 In the battle of November 10th, young 18:41 children also took part. 18:43 On November 10th, we only retreated to 18:47 the South Wonokromo area on December 2nd 18:51 . 18:52 Meaning we held out against the British 18:55 for 3 weeks. 18:57 Being bombarded and so on. 18:59 The British commander, Major General 19:02 Mansergh, was even desperate. 19:06 Now, why? 19:08 He had threatened that Surabaya would 19:10 fall within 3 days. 19:14 It turned out that after 2 weeks, it 19:15 hadn't fallen; they kept fighting back, 19:17 right? Only after 3 weeks did they 19:19 retreat. 19:20 And even then, at night, they would 19:22 enter the city to conduct guerrilla 19:25 attacks. 19:27 So, the battle in Surabaya lasted 100 19:29 days, 3 months. 19:32 After that, they retreated to the 19:34 Sidoarjo area. 19:36 So that is what later became known as 19:39 Heroes 'Day. 19:41 We mention all the names of those who 19:44 were in the battle. 19:46 All this time, no one has mentioned them 19:48 . 19:48 >> During the 3 days of fighting, Mallaby's 19:51 troops were overwhelmed by the combat 19:53 capabilities of the people of Surabaya. 19:56 Mallaby's experience was quite minimal 19:58 because he was a staff officer who 20:00 worked more behind a desk. 20:03 Mallaby then asked for help from his 20:05 superior in Singapore, Lieutenant 20:07 General Sir Philip Christison, the 20:10 commander of Allied forces for Southeast 20:12 Asia. 20:15 Christison gave the order to bring 20:17 Soekarno and Hatta to Surabaya. 20:20 Through these two proclaimers, 20:22 Christison hoped the people of Surabaya 20:24 would stop the fighting. 21:06 On October 29th, around 11:30 AM, Bung 21:09 Karno, Bung Hatta, and Amir Sjarifuddin 21:12 as Minister of Information arrived at 21:15 Morokrembangan Airfield. 21:18 Towards the afternoon, a meeting between 21:20 Mallaby and the presidential entourage 21:22 was held at the Governor's Office. 21:26 Talks would continue the next day, 21:28 October 30th, between President Soekarno 21:30 and Major General Hawthorn, who had just 21:33 arrived from Jakarta. 21:36 Two important points in the agreement 21:38 were that the leaflets signed by Major 21:41 General Hawthorn were invalid, and the 21:43 British recognized the existence of the 21:46 People's Security Army and police. 21:49 Around 1 PM, the negotiations ended. 21:53 President Soekarno's entourage and 21:55 Hawthorn immediately returned to Jakarta 21:57 . 21:58 >> At that time, the atmosphere to 22:02 safeguard this republic was truly driven 22:06 by the sincerity of all its leaders. 22:12 Everyone, the people wanted to give, and 22:14 the leaders also wanted to carry out the 22:16 people's mandate. 22:21 >> Mallaby's death came as a great shock to 22:23 the British. 22:25 Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison 22:27 , commander of AFNEI (Allied Forces 22:29 Netherlands East Indies), received a 22:31 report of Mallaby's death from two of 22:33 his staff officers. 22:36 As soon as the report came in on 22:38 Wednesday, October 31, 1945, Christison 22:41 issued a threat to the Indonesian nation 22:43 . 22:48 >> Brigadier Mallaby, the NICA commander, 22:50 had his car blown up. 22:53 Who placed the bomb in Brigadier 22:56 Mallaby's car? 22:58 Sorry, it wasn't a soldier, it was a 23:01 Tebuireng santri named Harun. 23:03 >> Harun. 23:05 >> As soon as it exploded, Harun was 23:06 martyred. 23:09 President Bung Karno almost couldn't 23:11 believe that the NICA force commander, 23:14 Brigadier Mallaby, had died so quickly. 23:19 >> After Mallaby died, the British issued 23:22 an ultimatum to Surabaya and the 23:24 Indonesian nation on November 10th to 23:27 surrender Surabaya. 23:30 Being threatened only made us rise up. 23:35 When the Muslims saw the behavior of the 23:38 British and Dutch, it was jihad, jihad. 23:42 It was truly felt. 23:44 I cry when I remember it vividly. 23:47 So we saw the situation; no matter how 23:49 big, small, or old, everyone wanted to 23:52 fight. 23:54 When bombs exploded and roofs were blown 23:58 off, it didn't make people afraid, but 24:01 brave, brave, brave. 24:05 That, that was felt. 24:08 So why could God bring such a thing 24:09 about? 24:11 It was not because of the leaders, but 24:14 because of God; Allahu Akbar, Allahu 24:16 Akbar, Allahu Akbar. 24:18 So the spirit of the people was truly 24:20 that we must win, we must be independent 24:22 . 24:24 Let Surabaya be bathed in a flood of 24:25 blood, but Islam must be free. 24:29 >> Here, Ruslan Abdulgani recounts the 24:31 events of November 10, 1945, to a Dutch 24:34 journalist. 24:38 On November 9, they issued an ultimatum 24:41 . 24:44 In that ultimatum, they demanded we 24:46 surrender with hands held high and a 24:47 white flag. 24:51 What did those British people think, 24:53 that we would just surrender like that? 24:57 They specified two locations for the 24:59 surrender. 25:03 The deadline was November 9 at 6:00 PM. 25:09 If not, we will use full force from the 25:12 air, sea, and land to destroy the 25:15 Republic. 25:18 We tried to call Jakarta. 25:22 It was a dramatic situation until 25:24 finally, Foreign Minister Subarjo 25:26 answered our call. 25:29 We did not know what to do. We leave 25:31 everything entirely up to you and the 25:34 people of Surabaya. 25:36 On the morning of November 10, the first 25:38 bombs began to fall. 25:41 We defended ourselves for 21 days. 25:47 We lost more than 16,000 people, and 25:49 tens of thousands were wounded. 25:52 The entire city was evacuated. 25:56 That is why November 10 is commemorated 25:59 as Heroes' Day. 26:04 Not because of resistance against the 26:06 Dutch, but against the British. 26:09 That is what happened in Surabaya. 26:13 The atmosphere became increasingly 26:15 heated. The Republic's political leaders 26:18 sought a peaceful path through 26:20 negotiations, but were rejected by the 26:22 British. 26:23 The British were furious. 26:25 Christison refused peace. 26:27 He designed a retaliatory attack. 26:31 On November 7, the British introduced 26:33 the officer replacing Mallaby, Major 26:35 General Mansergh. 26:38 Mansergh was tasked with taking revenge 26:40 for Mallaby's death. 26:42 Mansergh openly threatened the people of 26:45 Surabaya. 26:47 If they did not surrender, the British 26:49 would deploy maximum force and destroy 26:52 Surabaya in a short time. 26:56 On that very day, November 9, 1945, they 27:00 issued an ultimatum addressed to 27:02 Governor Suryo, which was then copied 27:06 and dropped from airplanes. 27:10 Around 1:00 PM, planes began circling 27:13 over Surabaya and dropping ultimatum 27:16 pamphlets. 27:19 If they did not follow the British 27:21 demands, Surabaya would be destroyed 27:23 with full force. 27:26 >> So after we heard that ultimatum, all 27:30 the kyai concentrated all the potential 27:35 that the nation's children had, and the 27:39 kyai and santri headed to Surabaya. 27:46 And I saw it all clearly, that the kyai 27:49 were at the front, and the santri were 27:52 behind them. 27:56 >> The leaders realized that the British 27:58 were not playing around. 28:00 In simple terms, the British were far 28:02 superior to the Indonesian army and the 28:05 people. 28:07 Mohammad Hatta tried to renegotiate, but 28:11 Christison was not impressed by Hatta's 28:14 efforts. 28:17 On the other hand, the people were not 28:18 afraid of the ultimatum spread by the 28:20 British. 28:22 The fighting spirit of the people burned 28:24 even brighter. 28:26 That evening, Bung Tomo went to Kiai 28:28 Hasyim Ashari to join the jihad. 28:32 >> Kiai Hasyim Ashari 28:35 >> told Bung Tomo that what ignited the 28:37 radio broadcasts were the kyai at the 28:39 front, with their prayer beads, throwing 28:41 them at tanks until they crumbled. 28:45 Stories like this seem fictitious to 28:47 those who did not participate in the 28:50 event, but for those who were there, it 28:52 was a profound truth of certainty. 28:56 >> Hasyim Ashari, founder and leader of 28:58 Nahdlatul Ulama, had just issued an 29:00 important resolution for Muslims. 29:04 This resolution was established on 29:06 October 22, 1945. 29:10 This resolution is known as the Jihad 29:12 Resolution. 29:15 Prior to the October 22 Jihad Resolution 29:19 issued by Kiai Hasyim Ashari, on October 29:23 31, Mallaby died and the British were 29:27 cornered and unable to do anything; why 29:30 ? 29:31 Surabaya was filled with kiai (Islamic 29:33 scholars) and santri (Islamic students) 29:35 . 29:37 Those santri killed Brigadier General 29:40 Mallaby. 29:42 >> After receiving the blessing of Kiai 29:44 Hasyim Ashari, Bung Tomo 29:46 immediately headed to the rebel radio 29:48 station at 10 Jalan Mawar. 29:52 At 11 PM, Bung Tomo's voice went on air 29:54 ; there was no fear, the British 29:56 ultimatum was rejected by the people of 29:58 Surabaya. 30:01 >> Brothers and sisters, 30:04 In past battles, we have all shown that 30:08 the Indonesian people in Surabaya have 30:11 displayed an unbreakable defense and a 30:15 strength that has left them cornered 30:18 everywhere. 30:23 Brothers and sisters, all of us, the 30:25 Indonesian nation here in Surabaya, will 30:27 accept the challenge of the British army 30:30 , and if the British army leadership in 30:32 Surabaya wishes to hear the answer of 30:34 the Indonesian people, if they wish to 30:36 hear the answer of all Indonesian youth 30:39 here in Surabaya. 30:42 Listen, representatives of the British 30:43 army. 30:44 This is our answer, this is the answer 30:47 of the people of Surabaya, this is the 30:49 answer of the Indonesian youth to you 30:51 all. 30:53 Hey British soldiers, as long as the 30:57 bulls of Indonesia still have red blood 31:00 and can make a white cloth red and white 31:04 , then as long as that, we will never 31:07 surrender to anyone. 31:11 We show that we are truly people who 31:13 want to be free. 31:16 And for us, brothers and sisters, it is 31:18 better to be crushed to pieces than not 31:20 be free; we choose independence or death 31:23 . 31:24 Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar 31:29 . 31:30 Merdeka (Independence). 31:31 >> Long live Indonesian independence. 31:35 >> Political leaders in Jakarta fully 31:37 entrusted the fate of Surabaya to the 31:39 hands of the people of Surabaya. 31:42 >> The details of this ultimatum were 31:45 conveyed to the government in Jakarta, 31:47 but the Jakarta government was no longer 31:49 capable and stated that it was up to the 31:52 local government of Surabaya to decide 31:54 what to do. 31:57 So Mr. Subardjo, the foreign minister at 32:00 the time, also concluded that it should 32:03 be handled by Surabaya itself, in 32:05 accordance with the agreement between 32:08 Indonesian leaders and the people of 32:10 Surabaya, declaring they were not 32:13 willing to surrender to the British army 32:15 . 32:19 >> The British power to retaliate was 32:22 astonishing. 32:24 The total force deployed was 28,000 32:27 soldiers from various combat units, 32:30 almost entirely from India and Nepal. 32:34 The British used Gurkha troops. 32:37 The Gurkhas were dark-skinned men. 32:42 Well, they landed to thwart the 32:45 proclamation. 32:47 That landing occurred after the 32:49 formation of the People's Security 32:52 Agency (BKR). 33:00 >> The area around the rebel radio 33:02 headquarters did not escape the 33:04 artillery fire when Surabaya was 33:06 bombarded by British soldiers. 33:09 Bung Tomo did not stop his oration even 33:12 once. 33:13 The British thought it would only take 3 33:16 days to paralyze the city of Surabaya. 33:18 That estimate was wrong. 33:21 For 21 days, the fighters of Surabaya 33:23 put up resistance against the superior 33:26 British army. 33:28 Surabaya was finally controlled by the 33:30 British army. 33:34 >> In 1990, at that time, 33:40 the 45 th-anniversary commemoration 33:45 of the November 10 battle in 1990. 33:49 In that commemoration, the great heroes 33:53 of the November 10 battle were this 33:57 upper class. 34:00 Their names appeared. 34:03 At that time 34:05 it spread on television, newspapers, and 34:07 magazines covered it. 34:11 Nyai Solihah, Gus Dur's mother, at the 34:13 time 34:16 represented Gus Dur. 34:20 She asked 34:23 about the story of November 10th. 34:28 Those who deserved credit should have 34:30 been Kiai Hasyim Asy'ari and the kiais. 34:35 How could those who became heroes be 34:37 socialist people? 34:41 That was when Gus was asked to clarify. 34:46 Yes. 34:49 Then Gus Dur clarified by meeting with 34:53 old senior figures in the socialist 34:56 group 35:00 regarding Hero's Day on November 10th. 35:03 It turned out the answer was simple. 35:07 Yes, while laughing, they replied 35:12 that history always repeats itself, Gus 35:16 . 35:18 That history has recorded that the 35:21 ignorant are food for the clever. 35:25 The ones who did the work were the 35:26 ignorant, the ones who became heroes 35:28 were the clever. 35:31 That's normal. 35:33 Wow, Gus Dur was really angry being 35:35 treated like that. 35:37 It means that until '95, they still 35:39 considered NU ignorant, and that 35:45 none of the historical actors of the 35:48 November 10th battle wanted to 35:50 acknowledge that the fatwa and jihad 35:53 resolution ever existed. 35:57 The writings of Professor Ruslan 36:00 Abdulgani, who was involved. None 36:03 mentioned that this ever existed. 36:06 Bung Tomo, who gave the fiery speeches, 36:08 never mentioned in his books that this 36:10 fatwa and jihad resolution ever existed 36:13 . 36:14 The report written by Major General 36:16 Sungkono also did not mention that a 36:17 jihad resolution ever existed. 36:21 So all the books telling the story of 36:24 the historical event of Hero's Day do 36:27 not mention that there was an NU fatwa 36:30 and jihad resolution. 36:35 This is a fact from many aspects 36:40 that the history of ulama figures from 36:42 Islamic boarding schools 36:45 was erased. 36:48 Histories about that were all covered up 36:51 . 36:52 Yes. 36:54 So that no one would know that the 36:56 Islamic boarding schools had contributed 36:58 . 37:00 We as a nation must honor the fighters 37:03 whose names have been hidden all this 37:06 time. 37:09 How the role of Islamic boarding schools 37:12 , the role of students and kiais, in 37:15 achieving independence and safeguarding 37:18 the Republic born from the proclamation 37:21 . 37:24 >> Come on, Indonesian nation, with a 37:27 radiant spirit let's keep walking, don't 37:30 stop because whoever stops will be 37:33 dragged by history and whoever opposes 37:36 the pattern and direction of history, 37:39 regardless of color, will be ground, 37:42 crushed by that history, that is the 37:44 truth. 37:47 >> As the Indonesian nation, this nation 37:50 has very high historical awareness. 37:55 "Jasmerah"—never ever leave history— 37:58 because the Prophet also revealed 38:00 history again, the history of humanity 38:03 that people forgot, and those who forget 38:06 history are called "jahiliyah"(ignorant 38:08 ) in the Quran. 38:11 How great is the value of history. 38:15 So God, in conveying His teachings 38:17 through the Prophet, included history in 38:19 those teachings. 38:22 So Bung Karno was the same, "jasmerah," 38:24 never ever leave history. 38:27 Why? 38:28 He was an ordinary human who also 38:30 forgets, only able to remember if 38:31 reminded by history. 38:34 So history as an event is called 38:40 acting, we are actors of history in this 38:43 broadcast. 38:45 At 38:46 >> this moment it's called 38:49 If it is written down later, then 38:54 Why write it down? Well, how could the 38:56 Quran not be written down? 38:59 So we are all reminded that the past is 39:01 necessary. 39:04 And even in the afterlife, what is 39:06 questioned are our deeds in the past, 39:09 not the future. 39:12 So we are all enlightened by history. 39:18 Through history, we are not forgotten. 39:20 That is what history is for.
