856 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড The "Razakar Bahini" a new paramilitary force recruited from a section of nonBengali youths, most of whom are reported to be antisocial elements, have been deployed in some of the border areas vacated by the troops. These Razakars, who often suffer heavy casualties at the hands of the Mukti Fouj, are keeping themselves engaged mainly in robbing and killing evacuees attempting to cross the border. About 300 evacuees are feared to have been killed so far by them. The freedom fighters are now using sophisticated Chinese weapons snatched from Pakistani troops in the eastern sector. The well-equipped Pakistani troops who stormed into the countryside hardly a month ago, creating panic wherever they went are now frightened of the guerrillas who have inflicted heavy casualties on them. According to a reliable report from across the border seven Pakistani soldiers stationed since a month ago in a house in a Comilla village near Nabinagar to safeguard the life of a Muslim League leader wanted by the guerrillas, have been killed. These soldiers challenged by the guerrillas from outside the house at dead of night were so surprised that they failed to make any attempt to defend themselves. I was also told another story while at the Devipur border point some 20 km from here opposite Mondabhag in Comilla district. Around 3 p.m. last Saturday eight Pakistani troops, including two Majors, two Captains and four other soldiers were killed when guerrillas launched a sudden attack on an army speedboat at Saldanadi in the extreme Comilla border area. Troops, who were on an inspection visit to the Saldanadi camp were actually in a hurry to leave this extreme area when they were suddenly attacked. Some Chinese weapons a wireless set and a speedboat were captured by the guerrillas and another speedboat was destroyed during the attack.
