Chhattisgarh: On Saturday, 24 soldiers were killed in an encounter between security forces and Naxalites in Bijapur, Chhattisgarh. The martyrs include 8 from DRG, 6 from STF, 9 from Cobra Battalion and one from Bastar Battalion. But it is a matter of knowing how this attack was so easy for the Naxalites. Here we are telling you how the Naxalites attacked the security forces by laying a trap.

Force implicated in "U-Type" attack

Security forces had input that Naxalites are the top commander in the area, so the operation was carried out. But the Naxalites were already prepared and they had laid a 'U-shape' trap for this. In fact, about 2000 personnel of CRPF's Cobra, Bastaria Battalion, DRG and STF had gone out on separate operations for the last two days near Jonaguda in Silager's jungle. On Saturday morning, when the force received information that there is a mob of Naxalites near Jonaguda, they were alerted. Apart from this, there was some movement in the satellite pictures here earlier as well. In such a situation, when this information came to the force, Jonaguda planned to grow. After this, all kinds of forces, which were searching in the surrounding forests at that time, started sending messages that they should move towards Jonaguda.

Naxalites were ambushed by guerrilla war zone

Experts say that one area of ​​Jonaguda falls under the guerrilla war zone. In this guerrilla war, ie covert attack strategy only works. The force never goes together, it goes in small batches. But since all the forces were getting input that the Naxalite is here, the force's troops continued to arrive here one after the other. At the same time, the Naxalites sitting in ambush in U shape were waiting for this. As the force entered the area in large numbers, she was caught in ambush. Naxalites started firing indiscriminately. The encounter lasted for about 5 hours. The Naxalites were in the upper echelons and were keeping an eye on the entry of the force, so they caused a big loss of the army.

Tribute to the martyred soldiers today

Tributes will be paid to the martyred soldiers at Jagdalpur police line at 10 am today. Many ministers including Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel will join it. According to the information, the Chief Minister will reach Jagdalpur at 8:30 am, after which he will pay tribute to the martyred soldiers of the Bijapur Naxal attack in the police line at 10 am.
