G.I. Combat #43

When U.S. forces establish a secret ammo depot deep in enemy territory on Korea's Pike's Peak, Sergeant Smitty and his men find themselves holding the line against wave after wave of Chinese assault—with nothing but their wits, their weapons, and the knowledge that if the Reds breach their position, they'll have to destroy everything, including themselves. As the enemy closes in from every direction, Smitty becomes a one-man defense force, racing between gun emplacements and mortar positions in a desperate bid to keep the supply cache—and his comrades—from falling into hostile hands. It's a raw, brutal testament to what one soldier's determination can accomplish when the stakes couldn't be higher.

Johnny Haile, younger brother of decorated war hero Rip Haile, enlists determined to live up to his legendary sibling's reputation—but when he faces live combat for the first time in Korea, he discovers his courage doesn't come as easily as his marksmanship. As Johnny struggles with his nerve during a crucial battle, fate intervenes with a second chance that will test whether he's truly his brother's equal or destined to live in his shadow.

Hank Kendall is a cocky ex-stunt driver whose showboating antics have made him the laughingstock of his unit—but when American troops land on Korshu Island and walk straight into a Red ambush with their radio destroyed, only Kendall's motorcycle skills and nerve can deliver a warning message to the rest of the battalion. As enemy forces close in from all sides, Kendall proves that sometimes it takes a moment of true crisis to transform a show-off into a hero.
