Battlefront #14
Battle Brady
Battle Brady and Socko Swenski go out on patrol and are shocked to see that their old foe General Olga has put out wanted posters offering a reward to those who bring them back dead or alive. Since the grunts back at base don't believe Battle and Socko's stories of the existence of General Olga, Battle decides to take the wanted poster as proof. But before they can grab the poster off the side of a cliff face, Chinese soldiers at the top try to drop boulders on them. The two Americans easily dodge the falling rocks and gun down their attackers.
Then they are covered on either side by the Chinese sniper in a tree and an enemy tank. When the tank fires first, they duck out of the way and the shell strikes the tree, causing it and the sniper in it to fall on the tank. Battle and Socko then slay these attackers as well. Then a group of enemy soldiers charge at them. Seeking shelter in the tank, they use it's cannon to blast the first wave of attackers then leave live grenades inside as the next wave charges at them. They sneak out of the tank's floor hatch and crawl to safety as the next wave of enemy soldiers is wiped out by the resulting explosion. But they are not out of harms way when an enemy jeep armed with a machine gun charges at them with guns blazing. Battle shoots out the tires, causing the jeep to swerve out of control and off the edge of a cliff.
They are then attacked by grenade throwing soldiers in a helicopter passing overhead. Using Socko's suspenders as a crude sling shot, Battle manages to lob his own grenades up, blowing up the chopper. The pair let their guards down momentarily, allowing General Olga to get the drop on them. Although they are tied up, Battle manages to agitate General Olga's horse into kicking them over the cliff, sending them falling into the river below. There they jump an enemy raft and swimming back to base. There Battle and Socko show the wanted poster to the troops, and are laughed at -- as these poster were actually made by them as a joke. Battle and Socko respond by pushing them all into a nearby garbage pit.

Battle and Socko are among American soldiers on the battle field who are force to exchange fire with a Chinese Mig fighter plane. When it swoops in close during a pass, both soldiers jump on the wings of the plane. The enemy plane makes one more pass and then flies back to base where Battle and Socko are taken prisoner and are placed in a prisoner of war camp, where they are told they are going to be tied to the wings of the Mig fighter in order to prevent it from being shot at by American troops.
The next day as they are being led to the enemy plane, Battle and Socko make their move, pushing their guard into the fighter's turbine and then removing the pilot by activating his ejection seat. Unable to fly the plane, the two Americans instead drive it straight through enemy lines and into the American side of the conflict, where they are commended for bringing back an enemy plane for study.

Battle Brady and Socko Swenski spot enemy infiltrators stealing a safe from Captain Rocke's tent. Although the two soldiers try to stop them, the enemy soldiers manage to escape. When Captain Rocke returns and demands to know what happened, Battle and Socko explain the situation and are ordered to go into enemy lines and recover the stolen safe in order to prevent the secrets inside from being learned by the enemy.
Along the way, the two Americans encounter a stray cat that is hungry. Battle pours milk from his C-Rations into a helmet and leaves it for the cat before they continue on their way. That night, Battle and Socko seek cover and wait for the enemy to make noise so they can figure out their location -- making pains to keep quiet as well.
Help comes in the form of the kitten they helped earlier, locates the enemy troops and begins to meow giving away their position. Battle and Socko swipe the enemy soldiers and recover the stolen safe.
