☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeArmy Attack #4 contains two stories. "Winter of Death" depicts a soldier trapped in a frozen battlefield during harsh winter conditions, struggling to navigate a mine-strewn beach and concrete wall while dealing with frostbitten feet and the psychological toll of combat. A separate story details various military weapons and their tactical applications, explaining how different artillery tools like howitzers and mortars serve distinct battlefield purposes, with Sergeant Tom Osgood instructing new recruits on combat tactics and grenades during a mission at Tarana.
On patrol in the Philippine jungle during March 1945, three soldiers—Lieutenant Al Rudolf, Corporal Jinks Lavelli, and Private First Class Hoss Hawkins—come under sniper fire that leaves two of them wounded and pinned down in the sun. With his comrades bleeding out and a hidden sharpshooter controlling the ground below, young Hawkins must track and outmaneuver an enemy who knows every move he makes. It's a brutal lesson in patience, quick thinking, and survival in the face of a relentless foe.
Corporal Ray Lundeen survives the brutal D-Day landing at Normandy and fights through the summer hedgerow battles with grit and instinct, earning a field commission as a second lieutenant despite his reluctance to lead—but as his platoon pushes toward the winter front, the cost of command and the weight of combat begin to close in. Facing a German breakthrough with dwindling resources and his own hidden wounds, Lundeen must steel himself for what may be his final stand.
During World War II, American soldiers learned hard lessons about the dangers lurking in abandoned enemy positions—tempting souvenirs like attaché cases, pistols, and everyday items were often rigged with deadly booby-traps. "The Booby-Traps" follows experienced combat men as they navigate a headquarters room filled with hidden explosives, learning through cautious discovery which trinkets might cost them their lives. It's a stark reminder that in wartime, the smallest treasures can become the deadliest.
Sergeant Tom Osgood earned the nickname "Tiger Tom" as a relentless drill instructor who forged young marines into fighting men—but when combat comes to Saipan in 1944, his squad discovers their tough-as-nails sergeant harbors a troubling hesitation when it comes to taking enemy lives. As his marines watch their D.I. struggle with something no amount of training seems to overcome, they're forced to confront whether the man who taught them everything might be fighting a battle even he can't win.
