About

The word 进攻 is formed by combining the character 进, meaning "to advance" or "move forward", with 攻, meaning "to attack" or "assault"; the combination yields a compound where the action of advancing directly modifies the attack, resulting in the meaning "to launch an offensive" or "to attack".
