The Battle of Avdiivka lasted for several months, and the ** people finally won the victory, but this battle is very different from the ** Mut Battle and the Battle of Mariupol, that is, the Avdiivka Ukrainian army did not hold out until the "last moment", they withdrew without ** people occupying the entire city, and it can be seen from this point that the Ukrainians have changed their minds from the beginning. But the Ukrainian army also retained some strength, and on the whole, their withdrawal was quite successful.
The enemy in Avdiivka is strong, among them is the most powerful Russian 90 Guards Tank Division, the 2nd Army 30 motorized infantry brigades, the 41st Army 35 motorized infantry brigades, and Wagner's own army, a total of more than 45,000 soldiers, as well as thousands of tanks and armored vehicles. In stark contrast, the garrison of the Ukrainian army only has brigades, and even if the third assault brigade is added, the remaining strength is about six or seven thousand people. And their equipment is also very advanced.
Now all the defenders of Avdiivka left, leaving only prisoners. You know, the Russians have already surrounded the city of Avdiivka, and the only exit is also blocked by the Russian army, how can so many people escape?
First, the Russian army skillfully carried out the withdrawal. Thurske had planned to send three of the strongest Azov battalions to support Avdiivka, but as the situation progressed, they had to support the soldiers who were evacuating. And with the support of this Azov battalion, which is stronger than the ordinary army, the already exhausted Russian army in the city finally began to retreat. In addition, the Ukrainian army also gave up a large number of heavy ** and supplies, in groups of ten to fifteen people, under the fire of the Russian army, and quietly withdrew, which is also an important factor for their survival.
The second reason is that the Russian army provides us with good protection in the rear. After the Ukrainian army was broken off as the main force, a small part of the troops were left in the rear for follow-up operations, and the tactics were ingenious and the operation was decisive, and the opportunity to withdraw a large force was won. Take the third company of the 110 brigade as an example, they were defeated by the Soviet army, but they provided security for more than 2,000 soldiers in Ukraine.
The same situation happened in the third platoon, and at the same time there were small armies of Ukrainians who were creating opportunities for the withdrawal of large Ukrainian troops.
The third reason is that the ** people do not perform well when they attack. The Russians have launched an offensive against Avdiivka from three directions, but in the course of the offensive, the Russians' tanks and armored vehicles have suffered great damage, which also allows the Russians to "shut the door" at the last moment, giving the Ukrainians time to escape.
The author feels that this time, the Ukrainian army has all withdrawn before the city of Avdiivka was occupied by the Russians, and this evacuation may allow the Ukrainian army to retreat in an organized manner, and when the time comes, it will be easier for the Russian army to attack.
Come to an end. 】
