G.I. Combat #10 is a war anthology featuring multiple stories of battlefield action. "One More Bloody Hill" depicts American soldiers enduring intense combat on heavily fortified hills with nearly 9,000 rounds of shellfire bursting before orders to advance, with soldiers determined to destroy enemy opposition despite heavy casualties. A subsequent story shows two soldiers executing a trap against enemy forces, involving a truck rigged with explosives that they jury-rig with grenades, fuses, and pins to detonate when the enemy attempts to move it, allowing the soldiers to escape the combat zone.

One More Bloody Hill

10 pp · War

A patrol of weary G.I.s from Charley Company must scout two fortified Korean hills—Big Horn and Little Horn—held by crack Chinese forces, while PFC Regis, a terrified replacement, proves himself under fire for the first time. After discovering a minefield and clearing the way forward, the soldiers dig in for a massive artillery-supported assault on the objective, only to find that the enemy, though battered, refuses to break. What began as a grim necessity becomes a grinding test of nerve and survival as these men face the brutal reality that taking one hill only means preparing for the next.

Red Death in the Sunset

A Tennessee corporal named Big Jim Lane watches helplessly as a Red MIG pilot—callsign "Sundown Sam"—repeatedly destroys the bridge his engineer unit labors to build across a freezing Korean river. When the enemy plane strikes again, Lane's mounting frustration boils over into fierce determination to stop the relentless attacks by any means necessary. This war story pits raw strength and grit against a foe that owns the skies.
