Battlefield Action #58
In "The Chicken Run," a desperate Allied unit trapped behind enemy lines with minimal supplies and no air support devises a daring plan to escape. Eight soldiers commandeer a jeep equipped with flame-throwers and tommy guns to coast down a slope under cover of darkness, planning to muffle the engine and create a diversion with their weapons. As they execute their escape, a Sherman tank pilot encounters enemy aircraft and air defense guns, forcing the crew to switch tanks when their first vehicle is damaged in combat.
