On the same evening Aziz moved in and deployed his troops in the town. He deployed a company of EPR at Ksadimnagar and manned Ambar Khana and wireless station with 60 volunteers under one Mujahid Captain. Khadimnagar experienced a hand to hand fight that night. Similarly enemy contacted our troops at Ambar Khana and wireless stations also. A heavy fighting continued the whole night. The regular company was deployed on the southern bank of Surma with a screen position on the northern bank. Aziz was badly short of manpower. The EPR troops tricking down from Sunamganj were not yet fully in. So they could not be counted in his battle strength. The battle gained momentum at about 3 a.m. in the morning. Our troops in the town started falling back almost in a route and the enemy was behind them. Enemy artillery started pounding us on the southern bank also.
