JAKARTA - Indonesian independence is an effort to corrupt the collektivism. The Nusantaraisi struggles in their own way to defend Indonesia's independence. Suharto, for example. The former KNIL and PETA association was called by his soul to defend Indonesia in the Revolutionary War in Yogyakarta.
Suharto and his friends joined the People's Security Agency (BKR). He was tasked with stripping weapons and vehicles belonging to the Japanese colonialists. The motorcycle was damaged, let alone. The motorbike was then repaired for struggle purposes
The proclamation of Indonesia's independence is a historic momentum for the bumiputras. The independence of Indonesia in a plenary manner held it everywhere. The Nusantara side also welcomed it with joy. However, not for the Dutch.
The Windmill Country considers Japan's defeat in World War II to be the key to revive the natives. The Dutch plan reached the vicinity of all freedom fighters. Suharto (later known as the 2nd President of Indonesia), especially.
Suharto's desire to defend the nation and state immediately peaked. He also tried to gather his former soldiers from the Dutch and Japanese colonial era in Yogyakarta. From the former Dutch East Indies Royal Army (KNIL) to the Indonesian Defenders Force (PETA).
The initiation went smoothly. Because, everyone has the same spirit as Suharto. They then founded a group that later served in the BKR. This power made Suharto and his friends tasked with organizing domestic security and order.
Then, my initiative arose to gather friends from the former PETA. Incidentally, all the friends live not far away. I met Oni Sastroatmodjo, the Commander of the Special Police Company, and together with him I collected the formers of Chudancho (company commander) and Shodancho (older high school equivalent). We, former PETA and a number of other youths gathered. We managed to form a group that later became (part) members of the BKR.
"Which, the formation has been announced by the Indonesian government. President Soekarno called for former PETA, former Heiho (assistance troops), former Kaigun (naval lifts), former KNIL and other youths to immediately flock to join and establish BKR-BKR in their respective places. Bung Karno's call is not something new for us. We are already moving in line with the call," said Suharto as written by G. Dwipayana and Ramadhan KH in Suharto's book: Mind, Speech, and Action I (1989).
Suharto's struggle in BKR is full of sacrifices. He dedicated time and effort to fight against the Dutch in the Revolutionary War (1945-1949). However, to organize security and order, BKR needs large numbers of weapons and vehicles.
Suharto and his friends put up a body for that. He took the initiative to seize weapons and vehicles belonging to Japanese soldiers who were still in Yogyakarta. The resistance efforts were carried out quite fiercely. Fighting sometimes broke out and claimed lives. As a result, the attack made Suharto get a lot of weapons and vehicles.
However, not all vehicles, especially Japanese motorbikes, can function normally. Some of the motorbikes are in unmaintained condition, aka badly damaged. Suharto didn't care. He took the initiative to repair bicycles to be able to walk again.
In particular, some of the motorbikes were successfully turned on. Suharto and his friends can use motorbikes as a means of struggle. Even while occasionally the motorbike is used to travel Yogyakarta.
Since then Suharto prefers to use motorbikes. From daily matters to attack matters. In the occupation of Maguwo airport, for example. All Suharto's troops then departed by truck. Suharto himself uses a motorbike.
On a motorbike he was able to give command to attack Japanese soldiers at the airport. The heroic action, which coincided with the Five-Day Battle in Semarang, bore sweet fruit. Suharto's troops (which later became Battalion X) were able to control Maguwo and could strip all weapons belonging to Japan, including several aircraft.
Suharto's favorite to use a motorbike was also recognized by many people. Des Alwi, who is known as Sutan Sjahrir's adopted son, also witnessed it. He even considered Suharto as a true motorcyclist and fighter.
There was a young fighter who caught my attention while living in Pathuk (Yogyakarta). Yes, he is Suharto, he doesn't talk much. He's smart, calm, but with a handsome face he easily catches the attention of the people around him."
We often eat barrels together. I also witnessed young Suharto and a friend repairing a motorcycle damaged from the Japanese army. After the motorbike was able to walk then the two of them drove around Pathuk, "said Des Alwi in Pak Harto's book: The Untold Stories (2011).
