G-I in Battle #6

When North Korean forces invade in June 1950, Sgt. Bill Hodges and a handful of inexperienced American soldiers are rushed into combat, their baptism by fire coming fast and brutal. As the unit fights a desperate retreat through Korea—watching comrades fall to enemy fire and artillery, enduring waves of attacks—Hodges emerges as a leader among the surviving men, making an impossible choice to buy them time to reach safety. This eight-page war story captures the grit and sacrifice of those early, costly days in Korea, grounding its action in the real cost of holding the line.

A railroad gun devastates American positions from deep behind enemy lines, and Dawson and his squad are ordered to locate and destroy the weapon. They parachute into hostile territory, follow the gun's tracks to their target, and prepare charges to blow it to pieces—but escaping through waves of enemy fire proves deadlier than finding the gun itself. It's a tense 1953 war story where the real battle begins once the mission is supposedly complete.

Ben Jones has carried the curse of a "jinx guy" his whole life—every disaster that strikes seems to happen when he's around, though he's never to blame. When he enlists in the Army during the Korean War, he hopes to finally prove himself a real soldier and shake the bad luck that's haunted him, but fate has other plans. Sergeant Beaumont becomes the first person to listen to Ben's troubles and convince him to stop blaming himself, setting him on a path toward redemption in the thick of combat.

Dave and Bill are artillery buddies ready for action when their unit is ordered to provide counterfire for an infantry company pinned down by enemy guns at Kunsun—but when the enemy launches a desperate tank column behind American lines to destroy the artillery, the two soldiers find themselves in a fight for survival far beyond what either bargained for. With Sergeant Wooley wounded and the guns under direct assault, Dave and Bill must adapt fast or watch their position get overrun.
