Blitar Rebellion - Blitar Flood

Japanese: ブリタル反乱 - ブリタルはんらん
Blitar Rebellion - Blitar Flood
In February 1945, an anti-Japanese armed uprising was launched by soldiers of the Blitar (a small city in Kediri Province, East Java) corps of Peta (Java Volunteer Defense Forces) in Java, Indonesia, which was under Japanese occupation. It is said that the cause of the uprising was resentment against the harsh economic exploitation and requisition of laborers under military rule, as well as the tyrannical attitude of the ruling Japanese military. After attacking a prison to release political prisoners, the rebels attacked a Japanese hotel and a plantation office, killing and wounding several Japanese and Chinese. However, the uprising was put down within a few days by the overwhelming superiority of the Japanese military.

1945年2月,日本軍占領下のインドネシアのジャワで,ペタ(ジャワ防衛義勇軍)のブリタルBlitar(東部ジャワ,クディリ州の小都市)大団の将兵が起こした反日武力蜂起。その原因は,軍政下の過酷な経済的収奪,労務者の徴発,さらには支配者日本軍の横暴な態度などに対する反発にあったといわれる。反乱軍は刑務所を襲って政治犯を釈放した後,日本人ホテルや農園事務所などを襲撃し,数名の日本人や中国人を殺傷した。しかし日本軍の圧倒的優勢の前に数日で鎮圧された。
