In this case the war will occur in 1932 and be between the US and the 'Yellow enemy'. It was published in the very first issue of Astounding Stories of Super Science, January 1930.

Interesting take on the future of warfare. Massive tanks rolling across the landscape. But two infantrymen who saved the day provide the ironic backdrop in a war story dominated entirely by mechanized war. Good development of characters for such a short story combined with the lively reading of Mr. Chenivert make this enjoyable.

Well read. Fun entertaining story with a unique slant on warfare. Good dialogue and descriptive supporting background appropriate to the mood of the story and strengthens the plot. Short story with food pace and satisfying climax and conclusion. Thanks!
