Fightin' Marines #30
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Fightin' Marines #30 The main story, "Torn from the Pages of History: The Road Back... Guadalcanal!," depicts a Marines platoon under Lieutenant Murfee's command engaging Japanese forces attempting to come down a ridge at night with heavy losses. The Marines prepare flares and position themselves to counter the enemy advance, with Murfee ordering his platoon to dig in and hold the hill against repeated Japanese attacks to prevent them from being pushed back further into the combat zone.
Staff Sergeant Jim Osborne and Private First Class Joe Moreno lead a patrol through the Filipino hills in 1945, searching for American survivors reported in the valley—but they quickly discover that Japanese forces, despite claims otherwise, are far from gone. When the Marines encounter a hidden enemy position with civilians caught in the crossfire, Osborne and Moreno must act decisively to protect the innocent and eliminate the threat. It's a tense rescue mission where split-second decisions and steady marksmanship are the difference between survival and tragedy.
Staff Sergeant Murfee has always been the toughest Marine in his unit—unshakeable through Guadalcanal, Saipan, and Iwo Jima—but when his platoon digs in to hold a Korean hill against a massive Red Army assault, relentless enemy fire pushes even the legendary sergeant to the breaking point. As shells rain down and fear grips him for the first time, Murfee must discover whether his men respect him only for his fearlessness, or if there's something deeper holding his platoon together when he's at his most vulnerable.
