The Siliwangi Division, which had relocated to Yogyakarta, promptly began their Long March to West Java on December 20, 1948.

[2] On Thursday, February 4, 1949, the village of Rancamanggung welcomed the 1,500 soldiers from Battalion 3001 Prabu Kiansantang, as part of their long march from Yogyakarta to Bandung.

To ensure smooth operations and security, the battalion leadership issued a letter to the Dutch Army Headquarter in Cidongkol, Subang.

Forcefully, the Dutch troops gathered the youths and residents of Ciseupan 1, demanding they reveal the location of the Indonesian Army leadership in Pasirsereh.

Caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Dutch forces while they were resting, the Indonesian troops were unable to mount a balanced resistance.

After the battle, the Siliwangi forces seized 3 Bren light machine guns along with their ammunition, 2 mortars with 16 rounds, and 48 Sten from the Dutch.

[3] Although the battle was not a decisive victory, the Indonesian battalion successfully pushed back the Dutch forces and made them retreated towards Ciseupan 1.

It was officially inaugurated on May 20, 1976, serving as both a tribute to those who fought and died in the battle and a reminder of the nation's determination in its struggle for independence.
