This issue of G.I. Combat is an anthology featuring multiple war stories. "Zero Hour on Attu Island" depicts American GIs defending against repeated enemy assaults in brutal combat conditions, ultimately calling in gas tanks to break through enemy lines and escape the overwhelmed position. "Last Stand in Indo-China" shows American soldiers ambushed by a large enemy force equipped with heavy armor and artillery, struggling against overwhelming odds in harsh winter conditions before being rescued by their own tank unit. "Red Helicopter Raid" (visible on the cover) and "Trapped Behind Commie Lines" are also featured stories showcasing various combat scenarios from World War II and Cold War-era conflicts.

Contains 4 stories
Last Stand in Indochina
9 pp · War

A U.S. tank convoy led by Colonel Bart Marston races against the clock to evacuate American heavy armor from the French fortress of Kaphu before Communist forces seize it—but a saboteur's explosion destroys their fuel supply, forcing the men to plot a desperate low-gear run through hostile territory with only the gas in their tanks. Outnumbered and cut off from air support, the tankmen must fight their way to Haipong in a last-ditch bid to save the weapons from Red hands.

Red Helicopter Raid
6 pp · War

Communist helicopters strike a U.S. base on Guam in a massive aerial assault, catching the garrison scrambled and poorly prepared for an airborne attack. As ammunition runs critically low and wave after wave of enemy copters pours fire down on the desperate soldiers, an officer improvises an unconventional defense using explosives from the maintenance shed—a gamble that may be their only shot at turning the tide. This is a taut wartime thriller where ingenuity and nerve become the G.I.s' last line of defense against overwhelming odds.

Trapped Behind Commie Lines
7 pp · War

When a U.S. transport plane is forced down by a fierce storm over Germany, its crew and cargo of defense weapons suddenly find themselves under fire from an armed enemy camp—only to discover, after a fierce firefight, that the storm has blown them miles off course into Czechoslovakia, where they're now prisoners of war facing international incident. Trapped and disarmed in a Communist guardhouse, the men must find a way to escape before their capture escalates into something far worse. Written by the Creators listed, this hard-hitting war story captures the chaos of combat and the razor-thin line between victory and catastrophe.

Zero Hour on Attu Island
6 pp · War

When untested G.I.s arrive on frozen Attu Island for what they think is a routine training exercise, they're shocked to discover enemy forces already dug in with a full supply depot—transforming their mock maneuver into a brutal real-world firefight against combat-hardened troops. Outgunned and pinned down in the Arctic cold, the Major makes a desperate gamble: send a small team to destroy the enemy base while the rest hold the line, knowing the odds of success are nearly impossible. "Zero Hour on Attu Island" is a tense WWII-era battle story that tests whether raw determination can overcome overwhelming odds in one of Earth's harshest climates.
