That night, the battalion commander offers Audie the lieutenant position and free entrance to West Point, as well as the right to stay with his troops until the end of the war. An enraged Audie storms the enemy foxholes one by one, killing each German soldier himself, and returns to Brandon's body, unable to leave him in the field. Thinking they are out of danger, Brandon stands and is shot. Although he orders Brandon out of harm's way, the soldier follows his friend and leader, and together they grenade a sniper. At the front in France, Brandon falls out of contact while doing reconnaissance, and Audie goes after him. During the next battle, Johnson is killed, after which the battalion is sent to France for amphibious training, as the Nazis begin to fall back into Germany. For his heroism, Audie is then offered a battlefield commission as lieutenant, but since it would mean transferring to another unit, he refuses. Audie soon hears the Italians repairing the tank, and, realizing the impending peril, he leads his men in an ambush, blowing up the tank. At night, while enlisted man Valentino mourns Kovak, Audie brushes off the new replacement soldiers, and Johnson explains to them that it is too painful for a soldier to make new friends, as he may lose them at any time. They capture the house, and when Italian tanks bear down on them, they give their coordinates to the American naval ships, which then bomb the lead tank, blocking the road. During the skirmish, a sniper in the house takes out Manning and Kovak, and Audie courageously targets and kills him. After their rest, the men fight on, and by the time they are ordered to attack an Italian farmhouse that serves as a headquarters, Audie is a seasoned leader. When an air raid occurs, her family hides in the bomb shelter, and Maria stays with Audie in the kitchen, where they kiss.

Audie, meanwhile, impresses local girl Maria by offering her brothers chocolate, and she invites him to dinner. Johnson brings a girl to her home, only to talk endlessly about his American girl friend, and Kerrigan is seduced by a beautiful woman, but has his boots stolen. In the city, soldier Kovak refuses to carouse after seeing the poor Italian orphans. Finally, Manning returns to the unit with news of Audie's promotion to sergeant, and a two-week leave in Naples for Audie and his friends. Over the next few months, the men struggle through horrific battles in pouring rain, growing frustrated and exhausted. Audie takes charge of the men but is ordered to stay in position as a decoy, a mission they barely survive. In the morning, the battalion is attacked, and Manning is shot and the sergeant killed. When he is then ordered to lead a dangerous mission to draw attention away from the incoming troops, Audie, hoping to keep Brandon safe, leaves him behind, and then performs admirably. One night, Audie draws out of Brandon his story about the ex-wife and child he abandoned but now misses desperately, and Audie, thinking of his own father, urges his friend to reconcile. The Allies take the island in thirty-eight days, during which time Audie's leadership qualities earn him a promotion to corporal, an honor that causes his buddies, eager to avoid responsibility, to tease him. One night at a rowdy bar, they hear on the radio that the Allies have won Africa, but although they hope to be sent home, they are routed to Sicily. The men soon accept Audie into their ranks, with gruff Brandon taking the boy under his wing. Manning changes his mind, however, after Audie insists upon fighting and signs up for every educational course. Manning, notes his physical deficiencies and recommends he be reassigned. He ships out to a new infantry combat platoon in Casablanca, North Africa, where his superior, Lt. Although he is finally accepted as an Army foot soldier, Audie suffers the teasing of the older soldiers. Desperate to raise enough money to support them, Audie turns to the military, but because he is underage and undersized, is rejected by the Marines, Navy and Air Force. Four years later, just as Pearl Harbor is attacked, Audie's mother dies, and he is forced to remand his siblings to the state orphanage.

In 1937 in northeast Texas, after his father abandons the family, twelve-year-old Audie Murphy supports his ill mother and seven younger brothers and sisters by quitting school and working for a neighboring farmer.
