The 270th Brigade moved into new barracks and commenced comprehensive training. An Lei and Political Commissar Liang proposed forming a specialized unit capable of executing decisive final strikes, which Liang supported. They sought veteran input, intending to select volunteers for a combined arms company—the elite “Battle Blade Company.” Lü Zheng also recognized Xia Zhuo's potential, so he entered him into the Elite Gunner Selection Competition. Ouyang Jun was displeased upon learning Xia Zhuo intended to go easy on him, demanding Xia Zhuo compete seriously and even berating him. Xia Zhuo grew furious, and the two clashed again over the matter.
