In order to maintain Indonesia's independence after the proclamation, the fighters did guerrilla warfare. This war is a form of war that is carried out secretly and quickly.

The guerrilla in Yogyakarta occurred in 1948, precisely during the Dutch Military Aggression II. At that time, the guerrilla war was led by General Soedirman.

Yogyakarta at that time became the capital of Indonesia because Jakarta was controlled by the Dutch. The Dutch entered Indonesia, especially Java Island on December 14, 1948.

The Dutch carried out various attacks in Yogyakarta, including an attack at Maguwo Air Base, then an attack on the ground. On 19 December 1948, Yogyakarta was controlled by the Dutch troops and the Indonesian leaders were arrested.

General Soedirman then left Yogyakarta to conduct guerrilla on December 22, 1948.
During the guerrilla, General Soedirman and his troops moved around and crossed rivers, mountains, valleys and forests.

To break the Dutch concentration, Indonesian troops attacked Dutch guarded posts. Due to the quick and sudden strategy, the Dutch troops became overwhelmed.
