Combat Casey #34
Trap... Made in Commie Korea!
Combat Casey is surrounded by enemy soldiers but refuses to surrender without a fight. However the commander of the enemy troops allow Combat to escape, knowing that he will lead them through a town that they have rigged with mines as a trap while they wait on the other side.
While Combat reports back to Dog Company about where the communists are hiding, enemy troops are rigging the town of Kumchang with landmines. However that night instead of pressing into the town, Dog Company goes around it and attacks the communists from behind. Facing Americans behind them and the booby-trapped town ahead the commanding officer surrenders his army. When he asks how they could have known, Combat explains that he suspected a trap waiting for them in Kumchang when he was able to escape from an entire army of enemy soldiers.

Ambush on Hill 888!
With another victory for Dog Company, Combat and Penny raise an American flag on the ground they have taken, a tradition they have started until an official flag can be put in its place. Dog Company's next objective is to take Hill 888 unaware that communists forces seeking to maintain a hold on this hill have noted Combat and Penny's flag raising and are devising a plan to use it against the American soldiers.
When Dog Company arrives at the base of Hill 888, Combat and a troop of soldiers are sent ahead to scout and raise the American flag when the hill is clear. However they clash with Communist forces and are soon captured. The communist commander then forces Combat to raise the American flag to signal his fellow troops into a trap. However Dog Company comes with guns blazing and easily forces the communists to retreat. Confused as to how the Americans could have known, Captain Stone points out to the communist soldier that Combat raised the American flag upside down, tipping them off to the danger.

Major Mung's Secret!
Combat and Penny are on patrol across the border between North and South Korea and find that members of the communist army are building a massive dragon. The pair jump a sentry and knock him out and drag him back to camp. However the communist soldier refuses to talk. Captain Stone introduces Combat and Penny to members of the South Korean soldiers who believe that the Chinese are going to use the massive dragon in battle to scare the superstitious soldiers of the South and ask for supplies to work on dealing with the issue. Captain Stone allows for it and later when Dog Company and the Republican army clash with the soldiers in the north, Major Mung unleashes his giant dragon. However no sooner does this dragon appear, the South Korean soldiers appear with an even larger dragon that destroys the Chinese one and send the communist forces fleeing.
