The Cot Plieng uprising took place in Aceh with the culmination of the repeated resistance that occurred on November 10, 1942 led by a young cleric Tengku Abdul Jalil, a teacher at Cot Plieng.
The village where I live now.
The rebellion was due to the fact that non-PUSA scholars (Allies of Ulama Association of Alliance) rejected the entry of Japan after the Dutch surrendered. They think it's just like a tapeutamong asei buffalo (banishing pigs, accepting dogs). Teungku Abdul Jalil does not approve of cooperation with Japan, unlike the PUSA scholars who do tactics of struggle? cooperation to expel the Netherlands.
It also makes ijitihad differences between the old and the younger groups in the face of Japan. Teungku Abdul Jalil and his colleagues secretly engage in anti-Japanese proselytizing and calling fi sabilillah from village to village. Toward the end of 1942, the tacit da'wah became blatant, after the cruelty of the Japanese army became a bitter experience for the people.
The santri at Dayah Cot Plieng are ready to fight. It was later discovered by intelligence and Japanese camps. The Japanese tried to defuse the attempted uprising of Teungku Abdul Jalil by using Acehnese working for Japan and Uleebalangs who had been appointed to Gunco (wedana) and sunco (camat).
In addition PUSA / Pusa youth cleric also asked Japan to do dakwak counters. Although not rejecting the Japanese request, the cleric PUSA / Pemuda PUSA more behave just see what Teungku Jalil. While the Uleebalang who served as Gunco and Sunco continue to persuade Teungku Abdul Jalil to undo his intention to rebel against Japan. But it did not work.
Finally, Japan decided to stop the rebellion efforts with armed forces. On November 6, 1942, Japan sent troops to Bayu and built a stronghold against Dayah Cot Plieng which became the headquarters of Teungku Abdul Jalil. An unbalanced battle ensued.
Teungku Abdul Jalil's army was armed only with rencong, kelewang, javelin and sword, and a fiery spirit of sabilillah. While the Japanese troops have modern weaponry. The fierce war driven by Teungku Abdul Jalil assisted by his sister Teungku Thaib lasted a whole day.
Victims of both sides fell. A major japanese officer was killed. New fighting subsided in the afternoon after Teungku Abdul Jalil and his troops left Dayah Cot Plieng inland. In the journey Teungku Abdul Jalil stop in Meunasah Baro.
From there he and his troops continued their journey to stop at Alue Badeeh to compose power while waiting for other troops from Bayu. Three days later, Friday, November 9, 1942, Teungku Abdul Jalil and his troops returned to Meunasah Blang Buloh, about ten kilometers from Bayu. In the area Teungku Abdul Jalil and his troops perform the Friday prayers.
Their existence is known by the Japanese. Japanese troops with additional troops stormed into the village. The Japanese wanted to capture Teungku Abdul Jalil without fighting, waiting for him outside the mosque when the cleric and his troops were on Friday prayers with the locals. However, when Japanese troops arrived at Blang Buloh, Teungku Abdul Jalil and his troops had just finished Friday prayers. The arrest also failed. Fierce fighting ensued, Teungku Abdul Jalil and his troops died.
