Battle Stories #6
American soldiers operating in a snowy mountain theater defend Plasma Peak, a strategic position, against repeated communist assaults. A soldier named Sutton and his unit hold the fortified position through the winter, enduring brutal conditions and constant enemy attacks, with the story emphasizing the soldiers' determination despite mounting casualties and the harsh terrain. A second story features Lieutenant Burch and soldier Puggo in Korea, where Burch is revealed to be a deserter from the rear-echelon outfit, and the narrative hints at conflict and deception within the ranks.
