He was the "best man" in General Gerasimov's mind.

With the continuous defeat of the war between Russia and Ukraine, Mordvichev will take over as commander-in-chief of the Russian theater in February next year. In the summer of that year, the Mutter Line held off a counterattack by the Ukrainian army and captured Marinka at the end of the year.
By February 2024, the battle of Avadiivka was won by the ** army led by Mordvichev.
Mordvichev, who won a number of battles and is considered the next chief of staff of the Russian military, is the first man of General Gerasimov.
Mordvichev's "three moves" in Avadiivka
Iron pincer attack. Avadiivka, a fortress that has been held by the Ukrainians for more than 20 months, has never been captured by the Russians. Under the leadership of Mordvichev, he knew very well that it was almost impossible to break through Avadiivka, because then they would simply not be able to withstand the attack of the ** people for more than a year.
Mordvichev changed his plans and abandoned a direct attack on Avadiivka, turning instead to the flank of Avadiivka. Avadiivka's flanks were indeed its weak underbelly, its defensive lines were difficult to penetrate, and there were no bunkers and trenches on the flanks to exploit.
Regardless of his own losses, Mordvicchev launched a fierce attack on the flank of Avadiivka, successfully broke through, surrounded Avadiivka, and then cut off Ukraine's logistics with the help of the powerful firepower of the Russians, forcing Ukraine to retreat into the city and block the Russian army with street fighting.
Enormous**.
Avadiivka is an industrial city in the former Soviet era, and most of the houses here are concrete and concrete, even underground. When the war developed into street fighting, the Ukrainian army occupied high-rise buildings and factories, and dug tunnels in civilian houses to facilitate rescue and evacuation.
Mordvichev's attack was even more ferocious, because he knew that it was an impossible task. Over the next two weeks, Su-34 fighters were sent to Avdeyevka to bombard the entire city with 500 kg class FAB-1500 air-to-air missiles, and more than 1000 shells razed the entire city to the ground. **People saw the Ukrainian army, did not fight street fighting at all, they threw huge explosives and destroyed the building. The Russian army didn't even fight street fighting, but was shattered by wave after wave of bombing.
Tunneling. When Mordvichev arrived in Avadiivka, he noticed an abandoned tunnel. ** It took two weeks to get into the rear of the Uzbeks along the underpass. The Russian army then formed small combat units of 10 to 20 people, carrying unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with thermal imaging cameras, and broke through tunnels throughout Ukraine.
The defenses of the Ukrainian army were taken by surprise and soon collapsed. The Russians adopted the tactic of breaking the whole into pieces, crushing the Ukrainians one by one.
The 3rd Azov Assault Brigade hid in the underground passages of the coking plant, building a castle that would be difficult to conquer. So Mordvichev decided to cut this supply line first, and then use up all the ammunition.
Due to the fact that the retreat was cut off, the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade had to rush out from the rear. Mordvicchev had already arranged it, just waiting for the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade to come out of the coking plant and attack them.
In the battle of Avadiivka, Mordvichev's pincer attack and underground passage operations played a crucial role, using weak flanks to break through Avadiivka, and using the underground passage to catch the Ukrainians by surprise, and finally suffered a major defeat in Avadiivka.
