☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBattle Report #5 is a war anthology featuring multiple stories of frontline combat. "Guts!" depicts Sergeant Tim Birk and soldiers engaged in brutal infantry combat against enemy forces, with emphasis on the moral and physical demands of close-quarters warfare. A separate story follows a young man named Danny who is convicted of a felony but given a chance to serve in the Military Police rather than face prison time, ultimately being assigned to special training. The issue also includes combat sequences involving paratroop operations, machine gun emplacements, mortar fire, and soldiers under heavy enemy assault.
Steve Bragg is the toughest sergeant on Sniper's Ridge, but when a replacement soldier falls to enemy fire, he takes it personal—tracking the North Korean sniper across treacherous terrain and turning the tables in a desperate one-man assault. As Bragg fights his way through patrols, hand-to-hand combat, and tank fire to reclaim the ridge, he discovers that survival in this brutal war demands more than just marksmanship and nerve. Published in 1953, "Rough an' Ready" is a frontline action story that tests a seasoned soldier's mettle against overwhelming odds.
Danny McGraw's a tough street kid with a chip on his shoulder about authority—especially cops—until Korea drafts him straight into the one job he despises: Military Police. When enemy forces target a strategic bridge and chaos erupts around him, Danny faces a choice between looking out for himself or stepping up to protect the soldiers depending on him, discovering something unexpected about duty and discipline in the process.
Major Frank Jay receives urgent orders to oversee Operation Bombshell—a classified atomic cannon deployment in Korea—only to find enemy paratroopers descending in force, fully aware of the weapon's arrival. Badly wounded but resolute, Jay must hold the line against overwhelming odds until reinforcements arrive, determined that the Reds won't claim the gun.
