Soldiers of the 9th Regiment in Johor, firing from their positions.In the weeks that followed, the KNIL forces gradually encircled the city of Djohor, clashing with the Sultan's forces, which were both poorly equipped and inadequately organized. By the end of May, KNIL forces had successfully breached the city's defenses, marking the shift of the rebellion to urban warfare.
 
The conflict grew increasingly brutal and destructive as the fighting was concentrated within the city itself, taking place on a street-by-street, house-by-house basis. This intense urban combat resulted in significant structural damage to the city and shifted the nature of the uprising into full-fledged urban warfare.
