Spliting the Network

Dear guys, I have this scenario:
- The original IP network which ISP provide: 13.14.24.160/28 (no worry, it's fake)
- I don't know why the IT guy who worked here before request ISP to split that network to 2 subnets: 13.14.24.160/29 and 13.14.24.168/29
- However, I was handover the instructions to get Internet for LAN network as the attached picture without any other explanation

Can anyone help me to answer these?
- Please explain the way end-users in LAN network to go the Internet. Which IP network should we configure in users' PCs?
- Please give me some ideas that clarify the purpose of the splitting?
- Can I place the pfSense firewall in the Router position? If so, is there any device/configuration we need to focus?

Many thanks as always!

I don't have any knowledge on pfsense firewalls but on a brief overview this setup would seem to be OK in a SOHO setup but I would not recommend it for a medium size network. Out of curiosity what is router/switch setup

Hello, where this PFSense will be placed ? What is the goal to change it as a Router ?
