Battle Attack #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBattle Attack #7 is a war anthology featuring at least two stories: "An Ace Over the Oasis," which follows Colonel Sir John Richardson and Captain Michael Runnon as they defend a fortress in Yemen against attacking gun runners and rival tribes; and "The Wall!," depicting American soldiers in Italy during World War II who must defend a strategic stone wall against German forces. The issue showcases military combat narratives set across different theaters of war and historical periods.
When North Korean forces surge across the 38th Parallel in June 1950, American commanders scramble to buy precious time for reinforcements and supplies. Three salvaged Pershing tanks are hastily restored in Tokyo and rushed to Korea with skeleton crews of ex-tankers, where raw occupation troops and a handful of American armor must hold the line against an overwhelming mechanized invasion. "Forty-Eight Hours!" chronicles the desperate early days of the Korean War, when every minute counted and a few tanks and determined soldiers stood between defeat and the chance to regroup.
A green private gets a crash course in military survival from a seasoned corporal—keep your head down, follow orders, and never volunteer—but when their jeep breaks down behind enemy lines, the corporal's own rule book gets torn up fast. What starts as a desperate scramble to call for help turns into an improvised assault that transforms three soldiers into a one-man army, and the private discovers that sometimes the best advice comes with an asterisk.
A young soldier experiences the journey of a lifetime across multiple parades—from his triumphant homecoming march down Fifth Avenue to his deployment overseas and the liberation of occupied France. As he progresses from cheering crowds to the dangerous beaches of Normandy and beyond, the meaning of his uniform transforms from hero's welcome to the grim reality of combat and sacrifice. "The Parade!" traces one G.I.'s awakening to purpose through the chaos of World War II, culminating in the streets of Paris where the cost of freedom becomes unmistakably clear.
When American combat forces push deep into Italy, Sgt. Joe Glenn and his patrol spot a centuries-old stone wall that offers their only shelter from relentless enemy fire pouring out of a fortified farmhouse ahead. Using the ancient structure as cover, Glenn studies the position and readies his squad for the dangerous assault they know must come. In this gritty warfare story from 1955, survival depends on split-second decisions and the courage to leave that hard-won protection behind.
