Soeharto at that time as commander of the brigade X / Wehrkreis III participated as field operators in the Yogyakarta area. Approximately one month after the Dutch Military Aggression II which was launched in December 1948, the military began to strategize in order to perform a backlash against the Dutch soldiers who begins with deciding the phone, damaging the railroad, attacked the convoy of the Netherlands, as well as other acts of sabotage. The Netherlands was forced to multiply checkpoints along the major roads connecting the cities that have been occupied. This means that the strength of the Dutch troops scattered in small outposts throughout the regions of the republic which is now merupaken guerrilla terrain. In the circumstances the Dutch troops who have been scattered, the military began an offensive against the Netherlands. Around the beginning of February 1948 on the border of East Java, Lieutenant Colonel. dr. Wiliater Hutagalung-who since September 1948 was appointed as officer Territories and assigned to form a network of Preparation guerrilla in the Division II & III-met with Commander Sudirman in order to report on the UN Security Council resolutions and refusal of the Netherlands against the resolution and launched a propaganda stated that the Republic Indonesia is no more. Through Radio Rimba Raya, Panglima Sudirman also had heard the news. Panglima Sudirman instructed to think about the steps that must be taken in order to counter the propaganda of the Netherlands. Hutagalung which form a network in the Division II and III, can always be in touch with the Commander in Chief Sudirman, and be a liaison between the Panglima Sudirman with the Commander of the Second Division, Colonel Gatot Subroto and Commander of Division III, Colonel. Bambang Sugeng. In addition, as a lung specialist, at every opportunity, he also took care of Panglima Sudirman who was suffering from lung disease. Once down the mountain, in September and October 1949, Hutagalung & family living in the house pavilion Panglima Sudirman in the [first] Jl. Widoro No. 10, Yogyakarta. Thought that was developed by Hutagalung is necessary to convince the international community, especially the US and the UK, that the Republic of Indonesia is still strong, no government [Emergency Government of the Republic of Indonesia -PDRI], there is a military organization and no army. To prove it, then to penetrate the insulation, must be held a spectacular attack, which can not be hidden by the Netherlands, and should be known by UNCI [United Nations Commission for Indonesia] and foreign journalists to be disseminated throughout the world. To convey to UNCI and foreign journalists that the Republic of Indonesia is still there, it takes the youth uniformed Indonesian National Army, who can speak English, Dutch or French. Panglima Sudirman approve the idea and instructed Hutagalung order to coordinate the implementation of the idea with the Commander of Division II and III. Col. dr. Hutagalung still stay a few days to help take care of Panglima Sudirman, before returning to his headquarters in Sumbing. According to the task given by the Commander in Chief Sudirman, Dlm Top Leaders' meeting in Military and Civilian Military Governor region III, which was held on February 18, 1949 at the headquarters of which is located on the slopes of Mount chipped. In addition to the Military Governor / Division Commander Col. III. Bambang Sugeng, and Lt. Col. Wiliater Hutagalung, also present Wehrkreis II commander, Lieutenant Colonel.

Budiono, Resident Kedu Salamun, Banjarnegara Regent and Regent RA Sumitro Kolopaking Sangidi. Lt. Col. Wiliater Hutagalung who at that time as well as Military Governor adviser III convey the idea that has been approved by the commander of the main Sudirman.Tujuan of this plan is how to show the existence of the military and thus also demonstrate the existence of the Republic of Indonesia to the international world. To demonstrate the existence of the military, members UNCI, foreign journalists and observers military officers must see that uniformed military. After in-depth discussions which, the grand design that proposed by Hutagalung approved, and specifically about "spectacular attacks" against the big city, the Commander of Division III / GM III Col. Bambang Sugeng insisted that that must be attacked spectacular is Yogyakarta.Selain since issued Strategic Order dated January 1, 1949 of Commander of Division III / III Military Governor, to always conduct attacks against Dutch troops, have launched several attacks common in the area Division III / GM III. The entire Division III can be said to have been trained Dlm Dutch army attack defense. In addition, since the start of a guerrilla war, civilian government leaders from the start Wongsonegoro and the Resident Governor and Regent, always included Dlm meetings and decision-making that important and very good cooperation so far. Therefore, it is certain, especially for logistical support of the entire population. Further discussed, which the parties as well as anyone who needs to be involved. For such a scenario referred to above, will look for some of the tall and well-built young man, who is fluent in Dutch, English or French and will be equipped with a uniform military officers ranging from shoes to hats. They had to be ready within the city, and at the time of the attack has begun, they must go to Hotel Merdeka in order to show himself to the members UNCI and foreign journalists who were in the hotel.

In his capacity as Deputy Chief of Staff Armed Forces, TB Simatupang more competent convey it to the Air Force rather than Army officer. It is estimated that if the Netherlands saw that Yogyakarta was attacked on a large scale, they will certainly bring in help from other cities in Central Java, where the Dutch troops who are strong like Magelang, Semarang and Solo. Mileage [time] Magelang-Yogya only about 3-4 hours; Solo-Yogya, about 4-5 hours, and Semarang-Yogyakarta, about 6-7 hours. Magelang and Semarang [the West] are in the jurisdiction of the Third Division GM III, but Solo, under the authority of the Commander of the Division II / GM II Colonel Gatot Subroto. Therefore, the attack in the Division II and III should be well coordinated so it can be carried out joint military operations within a period specified, so that the Dutch aid of Solo can be inhibited, or at least can not be slowed. Leaders civil administration, Governor Wongsonegoro, Resident Budiono Resident Salamun, Regent and Regent Sumitro Sangidi Kolopaking assigned to coordinate the preparation and supply of provisions in their respective territories.
