. Another mixed regular company under Captain Ainuddin was deployed at Brahmanbaria facing Gokanaghat on the river Tista. One company of EPR troops under Captain Matin was located at Sharail. The main purpose of keeping this company at Sharail was to use them as reserve and also provide depth to the forward localities by occupying Talshahar and Gokanaghat line of defense. This line of defense was the only intermediary position between Ashuganj and Brahmanbaria. The company was kept mobile so that it can move fast and occupy Talshahar-Gokanaghat line of defense without much loss of time with a view to forestalling any threat developing on Ashuganj front.
Of late, the enemy reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters were active on our area. The purpose of these reconnaissance missions was known to us. We were, therefore, very particular about our camouflage and passive air defense.
