U.S. Paratroops #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# U.S. Paratroopers #1 Giant transport planes carry American paratroopers northward toward the jungle-clad mountains where Red enemy forces are hiding. As the soldiers prepare to jump, a major and his men named Tex devise a plan to work their way around behind enemy positions. After landing successfully, Blackton undertakes a dangerous solo mission to eliminate an enemy sentry and a troublesome monkey that might give away their position, engaging in a deadly struggle in the jungle before eliminating the threat so his squad can proceed undetected toward their objective.
Major Le Clerc assembles a handpicked force of one hundred tough paratroopers for a dangerous nighttime drop behind enemy lines in Korea—their mission to strike at the heavily fortified fortress controlling Suchon Pass. After weeks of intensive jump training, the assault force is ready, and as zero hour approaches, the men board transport planes for a raid that could turn the tide of the stalled U.N. campaign. This story of elite soldiers preparing for a desperate strike into enemy territory captures the tension and determination of men heading toward their moment of truth.
Staff Sergeant William C. Blackton of the 22nd Marines volunteers for a suicide mission to reach a trapped outpost deep in North Korean-held territory and lead the trapped men to safety. Navigating through enemy patrols and sentry positions, Blackton fights his way through the night to locate the outpost, but the real challenge begins when he must hold off a determined enemy assault long enough for the rescued men to escape.
