The smoke of gunfire was filled, and on the battlefield south of Avadiivka, a thrilling life-and-death struggle was in full swing. The last sniper positions of the Ukrainian army were bombed to the ground by the Russian army, and a heroic battle was staged on this land.

In this melee, the Russian bombs ruthlessly destroyed the Ukrainian sniper unit, and the heroism and sacrifice of the soldiers are silently remembered in this war-torn land. In order to cover the breakthrough of the main force of more than 7,000 Ukrainian troops in the city, the Ukrainian army in the south of Avadiivka launched a life-and-death blockade, and they are the most tenacious defense line in this war.

The 110th Company of the 3rd Brigade of the Ukrainian Army became the representative of the blocking force, and in the face of the siege of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Slavic Motorized Infantry Brigade of the 1st Army Corps of the Russian Army, they showed a real desperate battle. As night fell, the war spread, and the blocking troops resisted bravely and repeatedly thwarted the Russian army's assaults, but in the end, fate was ruthless, the blocking positions were surrounded and cut off, and the Russian army's firepower suppression made it impossible for the Ukrainian army to resist.

The battle of Avadiivka was unusual, with the Russian army adopting a new and upgraded version of tactics that subverted the traditional thinking of war. Their infantry group is agile and maneuverable, using drones with thermal imaging night vision devices to carry out full-scale infiltration attacks. The use of street fighting tactics allowed the Russian army to move around the city with ease, from lakes and sewers to cemeteries.

The precise strikes of the Su-34 fighter-bombers of the Aerospace Forces and large-caliber siege artillery made the Ukrainian army's blocking positions almost destroyed in ruins. Artillery groups using 122-mm howitzers and 152-mm howitzers carried out accurate bombardment based on the data and information of the front-line infantry groups, so that hundreds of combat groups cruised in the city, and the Ukrainian army could not hold on to the fight.

In this battle, the Ukrainian army is in an unprecedented predicament, and the West has comprehensively reported that Ukraine will face tremendous pressure from the international community. In the arena of political games, Ukraine's choices will determine its future fate. In the face of the reversal of the tide of the war, Zelensky's request for assistance may no longer be so handy, and the dilemma at home and abroad will become more and more severe.

While the Ukrainian army's tactical mistakes have thrown the tide of the war into chaos, the Russian army's new tactics have shown great power. In this war-torn land, the test of life and death will be engraved in the long river of history. Victory or defeat, the battle of Avadiivka will become a witness to the times, leaving endless reflections and reverberations.
