Aziz deployed his LMG on the southern end of the Kim’s bridge. The enemy, after about 4 hours of fight, was able to occupy the town and stopped short of the bridge. Constant shelling by artillery and mortar and fire from the automatics continued to engage our troops on the southern bank. In the mooning, enemy killed our LMG man on the bridge. Aziz himself got behind ghee unmanned LMG and continued firing on the enemy. All this time the enemy gave no indication of making any effort to get across the river. Aziz had deployed his 75 mm RR detachment on his right flank. This detachment became the main target of the enemy. About 2 p.m. two enemy Sabre jets flew over our position and started strafing. Our regular troops had fair idea of field defense. So enemy strafing could not do much harm to them.
