Which ones are correct (they are supposed to mean the same):
1-The heroic ones of the soldiers might do something like that.
2-The heroic ones of soldiers might do something like that.
3-The heros of the soldiers might do something like that.
4-The heros of soldiers might do something like that.
I think 3 and 4 are correct but they don't mean the same as 1 and 2. They mean people who are considered by (the) soldiers to be heros and not the heros among (the) soldiers. |

I don't think any of them work as they are. If you want to use "ones" you usually have something to refer to. For example:
Many soldiers are stationed in that area. The heroic ones might do something like that. |
