Fightin' Marines #28

Major Neil Loring, known as "Hard-Nose," leads his inexperienced Marines through a grueling night defense on a frozen Korean hillside, pushing them to hold their ground against a relentless enemy attack. When a surprise tank assault threatens to break their line, he makes a daring decision to wait until the enemy tanks roll past before striking—testing their courage and discipline in the face of overwhelming odds.

A lone Marine, left behind on a remote volcanic island after a failed raid, finds himself facing an estimated thousand Japanese troops with only a single old field gun and his wits. With no reinforcements and the island swarming with enemies, he launches a desperate campaign to destroy a massive ammunition dump—using whatever he can find, from makeshift charges to a forgotten cannon.

A young Marine, haunted by relentless gas drills during World War I, finds his automatic response to the whistle—putting on his gas mask— unexpectedly saves his life when a real gas attack strikes. As the battlefield chaos unfolds, he realizes the drill he dreaded was training for a moment that would define survival.

PFC. Joe Kosky, the lone survivor cut off from his unit after a Japanese landing on Guadalcanal, uses his wits and a cache of rifle grenades to launch a daring raid on an enemy supply dump. With the odds against him, he maneuvers through enemy lines, striking from a distance and drawing fire before escaping back to his comrades. His actions leave the enemy in disarray, and his return is met with relief and praise from his fellow Marines.

Three Marines, including Keely and Pompey, embark on a desperate mission to retrieve ammunition amid intense enemy fire, navigating open terrain under constant threat. As they push forward, one Marine is fatally wounded, forcing Keely to carry him while evading deadly machine gun nests and mortar fire.
