461 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড Surrender Eventually, Yahya Khan went on the radio to announce the surrender in the East but said the war would continue in the West. "We shall fight on,' he said, urging the people to be patient and prepared for further sacrifices. He thanked China, the US and the Moslem states for their support. China yesterday sent a stiff note to New Delhi protesting at an alleged violation of the border with Sikkim. In a separate announcement, the New China News Agency said China would continue to provide 'material support' for Pakistan and charged that India wanted to 'destroy Pakistan as a whole.' The US, which is also backing Pakistan, has sent the USS Enterprise'-an aircraft carrier with 90 planes and one of the most powerful vessels in the world-into the Bay of Bengal. If the Americans intended to use the 'Enterprise' for an evacuation operation they are too late, because the Pakistan army in Bengal has surrendered unconditionally.
