Battle of Bojong Kokosan

The conflict is considered one of the first instances of de facto recognition of the Republic of Indonesia by the Western Allies, as the convoy's negotiator was able to successfully secure safe passage to Bandung on the 12th.

[4] The battle occurred due to the arrival of Allied troops consisting of British, Gurkha, and NICA as many as one battalion trying to enter Sukabumi.

TKR soldiers immediately blocked and occupied a defensive position on the edge of the north and south cliffs of the road in Bojongkokosan.

[1][6] Allied troops armed with modern war equipment immediately bombarded the fighters' defenses with steel tanks, mortars, and machine guns.

However, the TKR troops managed to escape the Allied attack after heavy rain accompanied by fog poured over the Bojong Kokosan area.

[1][7] The attack by fighter planes carried out by the Allied forces on the TKR troops in Bojong Kokosan was even recorded as the largest in World War II.

[8] In United Kingdom itself it was discussed in a parliamentary congress where the majority of the public and parliament rejected British further involvement in Indonesia's battle with the Netherlands and respected the wishes of the Indonesian people for independence as had happened in the events of November 10, 1945 in Surabaya one month earlier.
