Sevolsk-Atmsk front appeared after the end of the North Donetsk-Lysichangsk battle in early July. What we introduced at that time was already quite detailed.
It is worth noting that this front is basically within the territory of Donetsk , but the main force of the coalition forces in this direction is not the Donetsk armed forces, but the Lugansk armed forces, the Wagner group and the Russian support forces.
The reason is also very simple. The Donetsk armed forces are basically on the front line, and even heading west to Zaporoze and Khlsong . Some mobilized units are still responsible for the garrison and are unable to retain mobile or garrison regiments for a long time.
, and the Seversk-Atmsk front directly sticks to the boundary line of Lugansk . After the Battle of Beidon, the Lugansk armed forces have recovered the entire territory, so it is naturally more convenient to fight from east to west. In fact, it does undertake corresponding tasks.
We have said more than once before that before and after the end of the Battle of Beidon, the Russian coalition was the most favorable opportunity in the entire war.
Because at that time, many of the main forces of the Ukrainian army were in the Beidun Twin Cities, and after hard battles, they were extremely broken (drained equipment and exhausted manpower), the Russian coalition also gathered the main forces on this line.
For the Russian coalition, the best strategy is to eat away the vitality of these Ukrainian troops at all costs; the middle strategy is to abandon it, overcome fatigue and turn to attack the city and defend the empty defense; the worst strategy is to encircle three quors and one, and take the lead.
Whether it is a top plan or a mid-range plan, it requires greater casualties at the moment, and the troops will be more tired, but it will be extremely beneficial for future operations.
chooses the worst strategy, which is naturally the easiest thing at the moment, but it is not conducive to future battles.
result, as you can see, the Russian army chose the worst. Moreover, there is even more bad strategy, no follow-up attacks or even harassment, and the Ukrainian army will be allowed to rest and reorganize the defense line. The consequence of
is that heavy weapon is almost completely lost. The Ukrainian army, whose combat power has been greatly reduced, has regained its combat power in a relatively short period of time after rest and replenishing equipment.
Many of the Ukrainian new forces in this round of Kharkiv counterattack and Khlsong counterattack were all from Beidunrun.
At the same time, because Sevolsk-Atmsk got a breather, the defense line was quickly strengthened, so that the Russian army still failed to break through this direction.
Of course, you may say that the Russian army was also in difficulty at that time, so it was so if it was not capable.
Please note that it is fine to say that the Russian army on the entire front is in difficulty and does not have the ability to eat dumplings. But at least in Beidon, it gathered the main forces of the two Russian clusters, the Wagner Group, Lugansk almost all the forces and the mobile troops sent by Donetsk. It cannot be said that the difficulties are greater than the Ukrainian army that cannot be sustained. Moreover, although these Ukrainian troops have a large number of units and a large number of people, most of the heavy equipment has been lost, the personnel are extremely tired, and the combat power is seriously insufficient.
does not choose to chew bones (actually a big lump of fat) because ability is not the biggest factor, but is actually related to the interests of all parties and short-short strategic ideas.
For the Lugansk armed forces, they obviously do not want to pay more money to block the main force of the Ukrainian army on their own territory; for the Russian army, they are too concerned about casualties and are unwilling to bleed; for the Donetsk armed forces, the mobile power they can send is limited and they cannot bear the burden; for the Wagner group, you don’t work hard, why should I kill me?
So Beiton finished playing, and all parties patted their butts and rested. When you have finished resting here, you have finished resting here, and the battle against the barrier area can only be slowly polished.
is here to grind, and the situation is different again.
The main force of the Russian army returned to China to rest and recuperate. The Lugansk armed forces were obviously not very active in the attack. The Donetsk mobile troops also retreated, mainly relying on the Wagner group to attack the tough. In terms of tactical style, we strive to avoid casualties and fight conservatively from village to village, and the progress is extremely slow.
Of course, Wagner's guys were able to fight and gradually advanced to the eastern and southern suburbs of Atmsk, but there was no significant progress north of Acheng, whether it was the attack on Suletra or the direction of Seversk.
And what is ironic?
In order to avoid big battles, I mainly did not want to pay too much casualties; but the cumulative casualties caused by long-term low-intensity combat will also not be less, or even more.
So we have always said that if you are afraid of bleeding, then you can just fight a war, and the stalls are all spread out. This is also afraid of this and that is also afraid. In the end, the blood flows more and the tactical tasks cannot be completed.
For the Russian army, the battle on the Seversk-Atmsk front is still not optimistic.
Atmsk faces urban street fighting with a population of tens of thousands, which is a headache; the much smaller Suletra street fighting is still in a stalemate; Seversk in the north has no street fighting, but after cooperating with the Chongliman offensive, the Ukrainian army advanced eastward along the river and controlled Bilogolifka.
Why do we specifically mention this village?
Because in May, the Russian army was defeated by crossing the river was on the north side of the village, which belongs to Luhansk Prefecture , and is even outside Lisichangsk.
Theoretically, if the Ukrainian army controls this place, they can directly attack Lixichangsk to the east.
So now the three key points on the Seversk-Atmsk front are still in the hands of the Ukrainian army, and the Russian army is advancing south and retreating north.
What is more noteworthy is that the Wagner Group is building a line of defense along the Northton River, and this direction does not face the Ukrainian army directly, but is actually preventing the emergence of unfavorable situations.
Of course, it is unlikely that the Russian army will take big steps in this direction, but it is unlikely that it can break through the Ukrainian defense very quickly. The key is to see the three points of Atmsk, Suletra and Sevolsk. Can they change hands and when will they change hands?
If the Ukrainian army attacked the city of Lisichangsk, it would be more than just embarrassing.
In addition, when the Russian army lost Ijium and bonus man , it actually broke through Atmsk, which is not very meaningful. To play a strategic role in this direction, it still needs to be linked to other fronts in the future.
For the Ukrainian army, we have basically found a magic weapon to restrain the current Russian offensive tactics.
Now the Russian army basically does not fight high-speed interspersed wars, but is still a "daily guard" with firepower support. The corresponding tactic of the Ukrainian army is to configure a large number of territorial defense forces to disperse them to almost every settlement, forest, highland, and intersection, and to block the Russian army through casualties from its own human resources. At the same time, the Ukrainian army will also configure some of its main forces to be used for mobile counterattacks.
This is also the key to the Ukrainian army being able to defend its position and withdraw its main force for combat-level counterattack.
Currently, the main forces of the Ukrainian army in this direction include the 10th Mountain Brigade, the 54th Aircraft Brigade, the 58th Motorcycle Brigade, and the 93rd Aircraft Brigade; the newly formed 62nd Aircraft Brigade and the 71st Hunter Brigade; the 112th, 114th and 118th Brigade of the Territorial Defense Army.
In addition, in the back of the front, there are still the main force of the 1st Tank Brigade, the 15th Regiment of the National Guard and the 27th Brigade, and the 111th Brigade of the Territorial Defense Army to make maneuvers.
Because the threat from Slaviyansk in the north was lifted, Kharkov Oblast was basically all recovered by the Ukrainian army, and the Sevolsk-Atmsk defense line has not been torn apart, so the Ukrainian army's Scenic headquarters was consolidated. Now that the front line in this direction has been flattened, it is conceivable that it will be difficult to fight back and carry out a larger-scale urban breakthrough in the future.
