Battle Fire #4

Battle Fire #4 "Plumb on Redova" depicts an Allied military operation in the Pacific theater during World War II, where General John J. Flagele strategizes with his staff about capturing the Japanese-held island of Redova as a stepping stone for further offensive operations. Captain Peter Standard proposes using Redova as an artillery base to bombard the nearby Munda airfield, which would soften enemy defenses before a full infantry assault. The story follows soldiers like Sergeant Bill Thompson as they execute the amphibious landing and engage in brutal combat to take the beachhead and advance inland. A second story, "Orders," depicts American soldiers pursuing German Tiger tanks through European terrain, with a patrol leader preparing an ambush as German forces close in.
