Battle Stories #8

Masters is a stubborn private who insists on doing exactly his duty and nothing more—until his unit is cut off, the officers fall, and he's forced to take command in a desperate firefight against overwhelming odds. As the weight of leadership crashes down on him, Masters discovers that duty isn't something you can portion out equally; some men have to carry the heavier load. A hard-earned lesson in what it really means to do your part in war.

Colonel Yin, a cunning Communist officer, methodically plans the defense of Old Bareface mountain against an anticipated American assault, studying aerial reconnaissance, analyzing enemy tactics, and positioning his forces with calculated precision. When the attack finally comes—first from the air, then with paratroopers and a ground assault over the ridges—Yin's meticulous strategy is put to the test. As the battle unfolds, his defenses face unexpected complications that challenge even his careful preparations.

Captain Holden faces an impossible choice: his men are pinned down by enemy tanks in the Korean mountains, and higher command can't spare any armor to help. Rather than meet the tanks head-on where they can't win, Holden devises a bold plan to strike at the enemy's weak point—infiltrating the city of Yong-Chee to destroy the tank repair and service shops that keep those "red monsters" operational. With Sergeant Foxx at his side, Holden leads his men through brutal street-by-street fighting to reach their target and cripple the enemy's armor from the inside out.
