this is a speech from famous bung tomo when British attacked surabaya, then become hero's day on november 10th 1945.
in the name of GOD
to all people over Indonesia
especially the brethren resident of Surabaya
we all already know that today
British troops have been spreading pamphlets
that provide a threat to us
that give an ultimatum to us
surrender of weapons which we had taken from the Japanese army
they have asked that we come to them with hands raised
they have asked that we all come to them with carrying the white flag
Brothers and Sisters
in the past battles that we all have demonstrated
the people of Indonesia in Surabaya
young men who came from the Moluccas
young men who came from Sulawesi
young men who came from the island of Bali
young men who came from Borneo
youths from all over Sumatra
Acehnese youth, youth Tapanuli, and all Indonesian young men in Surabaya
in their each force
with the forces that created on villages
have shown a defense that can not through
have shown a strength, so they were stuck everywhere
only because of they sneaky tactics
to bring the president and the other leaders to surabaya
then we cease fire
and after strong,now here's the situation
for all my brothers
we are in surabaya
will accepted the british challenge
and if the leadership of British troops in Surabaya
want to listen to the answers of Indonesian
want to listen to answers all youth in Surabaya
listen british troops!!!
This is our answer
This the people of Surabaya answer
This answers of the Indonesian youth to you!!!!
hi british army
you want us to bring white flag to you
you told us to come to raise our hands
You told us to bring the weapon that we have taken from japanese army
demands that even though we know that you will once again threaten us
to demolish our existing strengths
but this is our answer:
during indonesian bull have red blood!!!
that can make a piece of white cloth of red and white!!!!
then it would not be willing us to surrender to anybody!!!!
Brothers and sisters of the people of Surabaya
ready! this is critical situation!
but I warn you once again
do not start fire!!!!!!
just wait until they fire us !!!!
then we will attack them, show that we are really want to be independent
And to our brothers and sisters
we better destroyed than not independent
our motto still: independence or death!!!!
And we believe my brothers
victory will surely fall into ours
because God is always in the right
believe me brothers and sisters
God will protect us all
Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
INDEPENDENCE!!!!
my hair got stand up when heard it, my soul shaken, and my respect to our heroes raising.
I heard on an audio version he told:
DONT AFRAID TO FIGHT!!!
AT LEAST OUR NEXT GENERATION WILL GOT THE FREEDOM IF WE DIED ON THE BATTLE!!!
what a speech!!!
British ordered by Allied to give back the ex netherland occupied to them, but indonesian nationalist fight back when got the ultimatum to give the occupied weapon from imperial japanese army.
brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby died in action before the hero's day. and I think it at least one of the reason for the batle.

i believe even you and me, want to fight for our country..
we want to die because the speech..
i think Bung Tomo is one of the wonderful man during the case..
He is with R Suryo (East Java Governor) motivate their people for fighting for their independence and for their pride..
we had pride..it`s shame when we must raise our hand to British People because we had killed General Mallaby..
who`s wrong?? british troop or us? why we must forgive for them and raise our hand for them??

I think the wrong side not british or INdonesia, but the Netherland who want to occupy back our country and begging to British help them.
