Combat Kelly #36
Right Under the Reds' Noses!
August 16, 1953: Combat Kelly and Cookie Novak are behind enemy lines in North Korea where they have destroyed an enemy supply bridge. Trying to escape enemy troops they attempt to take down motorcycle scouts, but the bikes are trashed in the snare and they are forced to retreat on foot. They are chased to a nearby beach where Combat and Cookie take cover in a light house.
From there they are able to keep the enemy troops at bay and when they send a fighter plane to attack, they shoot that out of the sky, damaging the side of the lighthouse in the process. When Combat and Cookie run out of ammo, the communists charge at them but are shocked when Combat and Cookie use the bricks from the damages side of the light house as make-shift weapons, tossing them down and bludgeoning the advancing guard. Eventually they knock them all out and escape the scene and get back behind American lines.

Pinned Down by the Enemy!
Combat Kelly and Cookie Novak are with Baker Company trying to liberate Kumo Atoll from Imperial Japanese forces. However their entire company gets pinned down and somehow the Japanese continue to get supplies from some unknown source.
Combat and Cookie are sent out to investigate and sneak behind enemy lines. There they find a Japanese cargo ship and stow away on board. They are surprised when the cargo ship travels out to sea to a large supply ship. They wait until all the supplies and a Japanese tank is lowered into the ship before springing their attack, knocking the Japanese soldiers overboard. Combat and Cookie then use the tank to sink the Japanese supply ship and then pilot the ship to the Japanese side of the atoll where they decimate their ranks with their own tank.

The Commie Secret Agents!
While patrolling the streets of Berlin in the American Zone, military police officers Combat Kelly and Cookie Novak are approached by a German woman who presents them a ticking handbag she saw some communist spies leave at a food distribution warehouse. With the communists pursuing her by car, Combat takes the bag of explosives and hurls it at the vehicle, destroying it in an explosion. They take the girl back to their commanding officer and they deduce that the Russians must be using sabotage to prevent Americans from distributing food to the Germans under their protection.
Combat and Cookie are assigned to stand guard at the warehouse but after many days of watch there are no attacks. So their commanding officer tries a different approach: Combat and Cookie go back out on the watch but are disguised as workers fixing the road. When the communist spies try to make their move, Combat and Cookie pounce, forcing the communists to try and flee back to the Russian Zone. Commandeering a car, Combat and Cookie chase after the speeding vehicle with guns blazing, managing to strike the explosives inside the car just as it crosses over the border, destroying the communists inside.
