180 division's rout must be caused by serious problems in the leadership and command of the military department, and it is also very important because the division lacks the implementation level, operational experience and the ability to improvise. At the combat level, some soldiers can escape, some fight guerrillas, some surrender and some die, and their choices are different. Therefore, the failure of the 180 division is multifaceted. If I were the commander, I would say that the main responsibility lies with me. If I were a teacher, I would say that the main responsibility lies with me. If I were a soldier, I would say that my fighting will is not firm.
