295 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্র : দশম খন্ড lay ambushes and (d) dig down near the road and not to leave until or unless we were attacked by pak army. Prior to this, I was given a B.S.F section and I was ordered that wherever I will go for task the BSF boys will accompany me. I talked with him regarding my plan for destroying a bridge on Sari-Goain road. Earlier the lace has been receed and it was ascertained that there is no enemy nearby. The nearest enemy position was at Sarighat (2 miles on the east from the P. O) | . - Lapnaout (li mile on the west from P.O.) However, on returning tom my base HQ. the place has been recceed again. There worked with us for the last 7/8 month and as such I had confidence on them. Before going to the task I call my commanders including the BSF, SI, and discussed all points and left for the place of occurrence about 1915 hrs(7-15p.m.) on 28.11.71.On reaching village 'Guakhoa' we laid and ambush by the side of Sari-Goain road' about 250 yds away on the north. We waited there up to 01:30 hrs dated 29.11.71 but during that period nothing came to our notice. Then I along with all my forces left for destroying one bridge known as Tukoir Bazar Bridge I briefed the commanders properly and the setting of platoons were as follows. B/3 platoon under the command of A. SI. Habibur Rahman was given the task to clear the bridge, D/I platoon under the command of Have. Soab Ali was given the task to the 'Sari-Goain road' facing west (towards Goainghat) and tackle the enemies if any one dared to approach through that side. BSF section was given the task to search the bridge after it was cleared completely. I along with Hav. KB Thapa and Nk. Sharma of BSF went with B/3 platoon. We charged and cleared the bridge in about 15 minute's time and got one enemy Rifle. Then the bridge was blown up very nicely. It was broken into pieces. It was a pucca bridge measuring 60 X 12 feet approximately. After that I ordered all of my men to follow me and we headed for collecting D/I platoon. There I found that Hav. Soab Ali arrested 4 Rajakars. They were properly tied and ordered my men including BSF boys to leave hurriedly to reach the R. V. at village Rajbari Kandi. We were then guided by Tunu Mia. We were marching on single file. The guide led us on different route and assured us that the route is safe and shorter. There was no reason to disbelieve him. So we marched on. But when we have crossed about 34 furlongs from P.O. then we heard some enemy firing from behind. Soon after that we heard shots from front. There was no way out to go back. So we decided to charge the enemy’s position. There was exchanges of fire. The BSF boys gave nice performance, but very soon we were gheraoed by the enemies. They were all in ambush. Nk. Sukur Ali of D/I platoon fought courageously and he doing so he caught hold of the barrel of one of the LMG of enemies and faced a brush and lost at least 2 fingers. By this time guide Tunu Mia fled away and then after much difficulty we managed to come out from the enemies ambush position. Then I came back to my R. V. at village Rajbari Kandi. I counted my men and BSF boys, and found 4 BSF boys and 10 of my boys including 2 guides are missing. I personally went out with a search party and ultimately found one injured BSF boy and two of the MF boys. These two boys were caught by the enemies but some how manage to escape. I learnt from them that the lost men are being killed. I made all possible
