On October 1, the most important international military news on the Chinese network is that The Russian Ministry of Defense issued a communiqué stating that due to the threat of being surrounded by (Ukrainian army), the Russian army and the Donbass armed forces have retreated from Chongliman to a more favorable position.
In addition, according to Lieutenant General Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense, the 66th and 93rd mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian army were attacked by large-scale firepower in the position in the direction of Hongliman. More than 200 Ukrainian troops, 5 tanks and 9 infantry fighting vehicles were eliminated within one day.
The Russian army also admitted that despite the losses (Ukrainian army) suffered, Russia still had a significant advantage in strength and means, but the enemy still transferred the reserve team and continued to attack in this direction (Kuinliman).
With the support of fierce artillery fire such as mortar , howitzer , rocket launcher , etc., the Ukrainian tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armed pickup trucks and infantry launched ground attacks almost at the same time from the north, west and south of Liman, and continued to advance towards the center of the city.
In the situation where the Ukrainian army was constantly pouring in, the Russian army and the armed forces of Donetsk were forced to withdraw from Liman City along 00,528 kilometers. In the words of a spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Defense, "retreat from Liman to a more favorable position."
Ukrainian army used fierce artillery fire to attack the Russian army on the way to retreat, causing the Russian army to suffer significant losses. In addition, the Ukrainian armed pickup convoy, which had quickly interspersed with Zaricine and Torsky, launched a fierce battle against the Russian troops coming to reinforce from Crimina.
Due to the strong mobility of the armed pickup truck, it is equipped with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, RPG-7 bazooka, etc., lacks the cover of heavy firepower, and failed to completely cut off the 00528 Highway, and is unable to stop the retreating Russian troops and Donetsk armed forces from joining with the Russian troops coming to reinforce to retreat to Crimina.
On October 1, Zelensky said that the Ukrainian flag was already flying in Liman. In the video released by Ukrainian media on the same day, there were scenes of Ukrainian troops occupying the Liman administrative building.
In four regions including Khlsong , just after Russia entered the Russian territory in the name of a referendum, the Ukrainian army seized Liman from the Russian army at this critical moment, which made the Russian army lose the front-line communication and supply hub, which is a "surprise" for netizens around the world who are paying attention to the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict.
Previously, the Ukrainian army had invaded the towns of Drogbischeve, Stavki, Yambier and other places, and surrounded about 5,000 Russian troops and an unknown number of Donetsk armed forces in Liman.
According to the American think tank War Institute, the Russian army has evacuated two towns outside Liman, Drogbeshevo and Yanpool, and only controls the highway east of Liman. It is expected that the Ukrainian army can recapture Liman in the next two or three days.
The Battle of Liman confirms that this American think tank does have certain prescient ideas and grasps the battlefield situation of Russia and Ukraine in the Donetsk region with a relatively accurate grasp.
Liman is located in the northern region of Donetsk Oblast . Its name comes from a local lake, Lake Liman. Its geographical location is extremely important. This place used to be a hub for ground communications and logistics supply on the front line of the Russian army.
Now, Liman is re-occupied by the Ukrainian army, which is only the first step for the Ukrainian army to conquer Donetsk. After at least 10 days of rest, if nothing unexpected happens, the Ukrainian army will quickly move east along 00,528 kilometers to Crimina, 20 kilometers away from Liman, which is the bridgehead in the central part of Luhansk Prefecture .
Crimina (also translated as "Kremina" on the Chinese Internet), on the north side of North Donetsk and Lichansisk, the surrounding terrain is flatter, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Ukrainian army stared at Lisichangsk, making it difficult for Russian troops to go north to support; another Ukrainian army could approach Swatovo from Kubyansk, making Russian troops dare not go south to support.
, from both north and south, bypassing Crimina, will make it a meaningless dead city.If the Ukrainian army continues to advance eastward, it will force the Russian army to draw troops from Donetsk and even Zaporoze to block the enemy's army, then there will be great potential for Ukrainian army on the southern line.
Ukrainian army will drive straight to Crimina and still immersed in the joy of becoming a Russian citizen on September 30. It is speculated that it should be a little uneasy now.
Leeman Battle, Wagner Group - its members are mercenaries . This daily wage-paying battle mode, although it can ensure that there are wars on the front line every day, no combat results have been seen.
Kadrov , Putin 's "little fan", Military and political strongman of Chechen Republic , and his internet celebrity troops of tens of thousands of people have disappeared from Donetsk as soon as they appeared on the Internet and have not launched a decent attack. They are probably busy posting TikTok. The Battle of Liman is undoubtedly another major victory for the Ukrainian army against the Russian army since Kharkov counterattack . The second military power in the world has performed poorly on the battlefield after actively launching the so-called "military action" against Ukraine.
