The Ukrainian army in Avadiivka was crushed, and now the most important thing is to find suitable reinforcements.
The most critical question is, why did this 3rd assault brigade appear in Avadiivka?
The Ukrainian side, as well as the 3rd Azov Brigade itself, believed that this brigade had come to support the troops in the city.
According to intelligence, as early as the first week of February, the 3rd Assault Brigade of the Azov Forces arrived in Avadiivka.
What is certain is that the first soldier of the 3rd Azov Brigade was killed on 8 February, so this number is not necessarily the first to be killed in Avadiivka (some have not been announced), but it means that they were sent to the front before 8 February.
What the hell is going on?
The 114th Motorcycle Infantry Brigade of the 1st Donetsk Army Corps and the troops of the ** theater of operations have been killed all the way from the north of Lanhu to the ** city, which is a battle of hitting stones with eggs.
The situation in Avadiivka is not irreversible, let alone stubborn people like Zelensky and Syrsky, even if they are, I am afraid they will not give the order to retreat.
Besides, if the 3rd Assault Brigade of the Azov Department is only here to support us, then why not retreat?
But the Ukrainian army retreated?
You escorted them to evacuate, and even the original air defense forces were about to collapse, and you still didn't let them withdraw!
And according to our intelligence, the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade is at the coke plant in the north, but in fact, they are also near the industrial zone, extending to the railway station in the south.
And this area is also the target of the Russian army's attack, and the 3rd Brigade is indeed exchanging fire with the Russian army, but it is only badly beaten.
Even a company of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Corps was captured near the train station, and it is said that one of his companies was routed at the time of **, and there are less than ten people still alive.
The 3rd Azov Brigade was extremely strong in the report, and its deputy also expressed all kinds of difficulties in the relevant video. In the battlefield footage they posted, there were also many wounded people.
Judging by the news coming from the battlefield of Azov, the main reason why the Russians are so embarrassed is that the Russians have dropped a large number of cruise missiles on the battlefield, and according to them, the Russians have launched more than 200 missiles per day.
The Avadiivka Ukrainian army has a strong defense, a strong defense against ordinary ammunition, but it is powerless against high-intensity aerial bombardment.
In the past, the Russians threw very few bombs, and they only threw so many bombs a day, and the Ukrainian army could still carry them. But throwing dozens, or even hundreds, in a day, such an attack is overwhelming.
The 110th Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Army was stationed in Avadiivka, and at the beginning of the battle, with its fixed position, it destroyed a lot of Russian tanks.
However, in the end, how could the 110th Division pass on its own **?
In early February, the 3rd Brigade went to Avadiivka, in effect as a combat surveillance force to stabilize the defenders of Avadiivka. And himself, playing the role of an offensive, preparing the Russians.
The Ukrainian military knows very well that the tragedy of Avadiivka is not something that ordinary troops can withstand, and although the 3rd Azov Brigade is not very good, most of them are stubborn neo-Nazis, and their endurance is still very strong.
In addition, the Ukrainian side also sent special forces from the National Security Service and the intelligence department of the Ministry of Defense to enhance the combat effectiveness of the 3rd Azov Brigade, which entered the battlefield with the 3rd Brigade.
Such an army generally does not engage in fierce battles in cities, but in battles in important cities, they can come in handy.
From this, it can be seen that in Avadiivka, the Ukrainian army invested a lot of money.
If this reinforcement is really here to support the evacuation of the defenders in the city, then they can do so before February 10.
But at that time, the Ukrainian army did not withdraw from the air defense forces in the south, but chose to retreat from the city? Retire your sister.
Therefore, judging by the situation in Avadiivka, the Russian command has no intention of retreating.
Everyone knows that if you retreat at this time, it will be a huge blow to Ukraine's military, political, morale and international image, which far exceeds the losses of the Nordon army.
It's been a few days since the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and if we lose Avadiivka, how can we explain it to the outside world?
Zelensky ousted Zaluzhny and replaced him with Syrsky. As the saying goes, when a new official takes office, he must make some achievements and establish his prestige.
Which newly appointed commander-in-chief, as soon as he came up, made a big defeat in order to show his authority?
Both Zelensky and Syrsky are notoriously holding their own turf, how can Ukraine be willing to give up Avadiivka? Can he take control?
But why did Syrsky order a retreat in the early morning of February 17?
Why? The garrison of Avadiivka, for the most part, consisted of the 110 Infantry Division, as well as local garrisons, as well as other auxiliary units. The 3rd Azov Brigade and the Special Forces have only recently been replenished.
Most of the information about the Battle of Acheng came from the 3rd Azov Brigade.
The 3rd Azov Brigade is most famous because they took a lot of video during the attack on Artemsk. But have you seen some of the footage of the battles of the 3rd Azov Brigade in Avadiivka?
Since arriving in Avadiivka in early February, this unit has been subjected to air strikes in just ten days, with heavy casualties, and has not been able to prevent the breakthrough of ** people.
But what about the 110 Infantry Brigade, which has been struggling to support for months on end? Why did the 47 Infantry Brigade, which was supported before, not move at all?
However, in the battlefield intelligence published by Russia, we found the name of the 110 Infantry Brigade:
Corpses lay in the streets, and before the flags could be taken away, the captured warriors trembled.
Zelensky and Syrsky decided to "hold firmly", the 110 Brigade was on the verge of collapse, and the Russian army planted flags on a large scale in Avadiivka, not when Syrsky gave the order to retreat.
Even if he doesn't give the order, the soldiers in the city will be routed, and it will be a complete defeat.
Although it was defeated, it was not completely defeated, and the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army hurriedly ordered a retreat, at least to recover some losses.
If it is voluntary, then there must be a well-organized organization. How could a city as large as Avadiivka be captured in just a few hours?
What's going on?
On the contrary, the troops in the city, especially the 110th Division, which was responsible for the defense of the south, were crushed.
The 3rd Azov Brigade was in a better position, but they did not hold on to their coke plant and stopped the attack of the ** people.
On February 17, the Russians will raise a flag here.
The 114th Motorized Infantry Brigade planted its flag, located on a high-rise building on the east side of the coking plant;
c) The 35th Infantry Brigade planted flags at the station in the city center;
On a monument in the city center, the 55th Infantry Brigade planted its flag;
the 74th Motorcycle Infantry Brigade, which planted its flag on the south bank of the Lan Lake;
90 Guards tanks planted flags in front of the ** building in the city center.
Now all the cities of Avadiivka are occupied by ** people.
But from a cautious point of view, there may be soldiers to the west of the coking plant, and there are some remnants of soldiers in the center of Avadiivka. And in the southern high-rise zone, although Russian troops also arrived, there were no large-scale firefights.
According to the Russian military, Avadiivka was annihilated by 1,500 people a day, which is only a small number.
In addition to this, the Russian army continues to attack the Ukrainian army village to the west, which is now close to the village of Lastochnikne.
It will take some time for the clearance of Avadiivka, and it becomes a question whether the Russians will take this opportunity to attack in a big way.
For players, with a ** ratio of 1-20, the Ukrainian people "destroyed a lot of enemies and achieved great success" and the like, they just used it as entertainment.
