Kampong Pesing (East Java) has yet to wake up when the first Dutch mortar shell is fired at 06.10 am. While the village is shelled for half an hour, the Zeeland battalion attacks from different sides. There is little opposition from the 250 to 300 Indonesian fighters of the Republican Army (TRI). The greatest danger lies in the snipers in the trees. The job is done in a few hours.
