After undergoing rounds of training filled with both fun and challenges, Li Rufeng decided to launch a large-scale offense and defense drill to test the new recruits' improvement in comprehensive combat capabilities. He divided the recruits into red and blue teams. The red team was responsible for defending a temporarily constructed "city," while the blue team had to do whatever it took to breach it.
Early in the morning, sunlight bathed the camp as Li Rufeng stood on a high platform, holding a command banner and announcing loudly: "Today's offense and defense drill is a comprehensive test of what you have achieved during this period. The red team must hold the city, and the blue team must take it at all costs. Do you all understand?" The recruits shouted in unison: "Understood!" Their voices shook the heavens.
On the blue team's side, Wang Dadan, acting as team leader, was discussing tactics with his members. Pointing at the sand table, Wang Dadan said confidently: "We'll split into three paths. The first path will launch a frontal feint to draw their attention; the second path will flank from the left to find weak points in the city wall's defenses; and I'll lead the third path in a surprise attack from the right, striving to break through the city gate in one fell swoop. Is everyone clear on that?" The team members nodded to show their understanding.
