Struggle in Russia

Klevikin was naturally so angry that he vomited blood, but he couldn't do anything about Priton. But he is also a ruthless person. Since you, Pridong, don't follow the rules, don't blame him for being ruthless.

He immediately ordered his troops to stop. Can't you Priton? Then just go fight the Russian army yourself.

It's just that Priton didn't particularly care after hearing the news. He felt that the current Russian army was not afraid at all. As long as he concentrated his forces to attack, Konotop could be recaptured in minutes, and Kled was not needed at all. Wiggin helps.

But Predon soon suffered a head-on attack. When he led his troops and a group of friendly troops to attack Konotop, it was like racing 200 miles directly into a wall.

The resistance of the Russian army was stronger and more powerful than he imagined, and it easily repelled his attacking troops, causing him heavy losses.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong, but he was not particularly nervous. After all, the Russian army was still defending. Since they only dared to defend, it meant that they were unable to attack!

Defense has never been able to defeat anyone, so we only need to make slight adjustments to win Konotop without any problem!

If Dmitry knew Priton's thoughts, he would probably burst into laughter. The reason is very simple. It's not that he is incapable of attacking. The reason why he chooses to defend is that it would be better to consume the rebels until the rebels' energy and energy are exhausted. When it was almost done, it was his turn to tell the other party how to fight.

But what Dmitri didn't expect was that before he even started to teach Priton a lesson, the raiding troops that had been eliminated according to Li Xiao's suggestion gave the rebels a blow in the head.

Just when Krevikin ordered his direct line to stop, the Russian harassing troops suddenly came out and fired a big move at the artillery that was behind him.

The unsuspecting rebel artillery was killed by the Russian army. The few artillery pieces that Krevikin had managed to accumulate were all destroyed by the invading troops.

This time Krevykin really vomited blood. When he came to rescue with a large force, there were only a few usable artillery pieces left.

It's like saying that he lost his troops and generals on this trip, and almost lost his pants. But he was also a ruthless man. Seeing that things were not going well, he immediately retreated to Kharkov with the remaining troops.

He felt that Priton's trip was definitely unlucky. Once Priton was eliminated by the rebels, it would definitely be his turn next. It was better to prepare early than to passively wait for death!

What preparations were made in advance?

Naturally, he made preparations for his escape early. He decided to immediately return to Kharkov and take his troops north immediately. Whether it was going to Kursk or Belgorod, he absolutely could not stay in Ukraine!

It should be said that his consciousness is quite high, and he can see at a glance that the situation is not developing well. On the other side, Priton is still dreaming of spring and autumn, and he still wants to capture Konotop!

When he received the news that Krevygin's artillery had been severely damaged, he was not only not sad, but also felt "greatly relieved" that Krevygin would not be able to compete with him this time. He was definitely the leader of the uprising in northern Ukraine. The well-deserved number one in the army!

When he was so happy, he immediately ordered his troops to strengthen their offensive and strive to defeat the Russian army and capture Konotop as soon as possible.

It's just that his dream was shattered within two days. The reason is simple. Dmitri received news about the attacking troops and knew that the rebels' heavy firepower had been destroyed, which meant that the only rebel force that could threaten him was no longer there. If they exist, then why should they be polite to the other party?

After a day of preparation, Dmitri decisively launched a counterattack. The main force of the Russian army came out from Konotop and began to surround Priton's troops in reverse.

At this time, you can see how tragic it is to be unpopular. It is said that there are tens of thousands of rebels now, and it is impossible to defeat them in one blow. But who made Priton offend too many friendly forces?

It is simply unrealistic to expect those friendly forces with resentments to help him resist the Russian army. In fact, these people had no intention of resisting when they encountered the Russian army and immediately turned around and ran away, directly throwing Priton's people into the encirclement.

Before Predon could realize what was going on, he was surrounded by people. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, but he could do nothing except yell at those unreliable pig teammates.

In just two days, the tyrant who had dominated northern Ukraine for more than half a year committed suicide while the trees fell and the hozens dispersed.

The death of Priton meant the total collapse of the rebels in the Sumei area. As the Russian army killed them like tigers down the mountain, the previously powerful rebel group in this area fled and surrendered. Almost no one was a Russian. The enemy of the army.

Dmitry took back Sumei almost without any effort. The Russian army suffered very slight losses in this battle, but the nearly 100,000 rebels entrenched in this area were wiped out and two important cities were recaptured.

If nothing else, Kharkov is easily accessible. Anyway, after this battle, Dmitri felt so comfortable!

How long has it been since you had such a comfortable battle?

One year or two years?

It seems that he has not been so happy since the Crimean War. This battle can be regarded as venting the long-suffering depression in his chest.

However, Dmitri did not get carried away. On the contrary, he became more and more sober. He carefully reviewed this victory. Why was it so happy to win?

The rebels were clearly stronger than those they had encountered before, yet they managed to win so easily.

What's the biggest difference?

It seems that it was someone's suggestions. If someone hadn't insisted on luring the enemy deeper, if someone hadn't suggested sending in raiding troops, this battle would never have been so easy.

This made Dmitri pay more and more attention to Li Xiao. After regaining Sumei, he immediately approached Li Xiao to ask about the strategic direction for the next stage.

"I think the most important thing right now is to immediately go north to reinforce Kursk and annihilate all the rebels who are going north in the area south of Kursk. As for Kharkov, as long as we eliminate the rebels in the Kursk area, we can go back It’s not too late to deal with them!”

Dmitri nodded. Li Xiao's suggestion was very clear that the main goal was to annihilate the rebels' effective strength. Regaining lost ground comes second.

In the past, he did not fully agree with this kind of combat thinking. He felt that land was the most important thing. But after the wars in Ukraine, he discovered that eliminating the rebels must not be limited to the gains and losses of one city or one pool.

You see, they originally planned to go south to recapture Piyagin, but they hit a snag. On the contrary, after refocusing on the rebels' effective strength, everything went smoothly again.

Anyway, even if Li Xiao tells him to give up Su Mei to the rebels now, he will firmly support it. To deal with the rebels, they must eliminate their effective strength!
