 During Nilfamari, Bhushir Bandar and Badarganj fight we lost our 3" motors and machine gun and I had only 2X3" mor, two MGs and two antitank guns, which were not sufficient to fight against arty and tank attack. 2 miles ahead of 10 Miles I sent a fighting patrol to delay enemy advance.

 From 9.4.71 morning enemy started pounding our posn by arty guns which continued whole day night and next day on 10.4.71 they attacked us from three axis and fight continued upto 15.00 hrs after which we could not stop the enemy advance. In this fight we lost about ten pers. Among them L/Nk A Sattar and L/Nk Mustafizur Rahman's name could be re4membered. 8 person sustained shell wound. We withdrew to Kharal P.S. side. We had second defence in Tobacco Co. WAPDA colony and rice mill area. This rear defence help up the enemy and they did not advance futher. While we were fighting the liberation war at 10 Miles, most of the MNA/MPAs excepting Mr. Rahim, MPA and destrict officials left Dinajpur and entered into India which affected the morale of our troops. For want want of heavy weapons we started loosing the battle now.

 An import bridge called Bhatagaon Bridge about 10 miles away from `T Junction in between Dinajpur-Thakurgaon road and its northern area which was the probable approach of Pak enemy from Sayedpur bifurcating 10 Miles defence was being defend by the following 9 and 8 wing J.C.Os and N.C.Os 1) N/Sub Motiur Rahman, 2) N/Sub Mond. 6) Hav.

 With the fall of 10 Miles and Bhatgaon bridge area on 10 April 71, 9 wing contingent withdrew to Thakurgaon area. For some times they resisted the Pak army advance from Khansama and Debiganj area.
