G.I. Combat #7
American soldiers under Sergeant Westlund execute a dangerous tank assault against enemy forces, using explosive firepower and grenades to overcome fierce Red resistance while advancing under heavy fire. During a brief respite, the men discover Corporal Swenson's hidden garden of onions growing behind the lines, which provides a moment of levity before the Reds launch a surprise attack that forces the troops back into combat. The soldiers ultimately succeed in their mission to destroy enemy armor and push through the opposition, with Swenson's resourceful gardening becoming an unexpected bright spot during the intense battlefield engagement.
Sergeant "Wild Bill" Walton's beloved M-4 tank Gertie is crushed by the Soviets' new super-heavy tank, the Glorious Comrade, during the brutal push through Rangjam Pass in Korea—but the loss only hardens his resolve to take down the monster machine himself. With a flame-thrower and nothing but grit, Bill infiltrates deep behind enemy lines to settle a very personal score, determined to prove that no Soviet war machine is worth more than the tank and crew he lost.
Helicopter pilot Al Baker takes to the skies over Korea to locate a Red mortar team dug into Hill 1313 that's pinning down a UN supply convoy—but the enemy proves far better hidden than expected, surviving even a devastating napalm strike. When spotting from the air fails, Baker gets creative (and dangerous) to finally draw a bead on the well-fortified position and clear the road. It's a tense cat-and-mouse game where persistence and quick thinking prove as crucial as firepower.
Sergeant Westlund finds himself paired with an inexperienced Lieutenant on a reconnaissance patrol through North Korean hills—a patrol that quickly goes sideways when the unit stumbles into a Chinese Red ambush. Forced to improvise their way up a treacherous slope with dwindling men and firepower, Sergeant Westlund and the Lieutenant must work together to survive, and their situation takes a sharp turn when they discover a massive Red supply concentration in the valley below. What begins as a desperate fight for survival becomes something far more dangerous when the two soldiers realize they're sitting on the perfect opportunity to strike back at Operation Killer's true objective.
A Minnesota farm boy reluctant to fight finds his fighting spirit when a Red tank crushes the onion patch he'd discovered near the lines in Korea. Corporal Pete Swenson joins a tank-killer team to settle the score, and what follows is a high-stakes night hunt where quick reflexes, desperation, and sheer nerve turn a determined soldier into an unstoppable force against enemy armor.
