Republic of Washinton wrote:Wake Island Naval Air Station and Marine Base, March 15, 1940.
Taking an imminence barrage, the Marine defenders of Wake take cover in their bunkers and small trenches as they are hammered by ships and aircraft. The few coastal 5-in guns operated by the men of Battery A, 14th Coastal Artillery Battalion of the Army stationed with the Marines do what they can, trying to target the the smaller ships as they feel they could do more damage to them.
The Marine Fighter Squadron based on Wake are scrambled after the first attack wave is detected by radar on the island. All 16 F4F-3 Wildcats were sent up to challenge the incoming bombers. Outnumbered, they try to attack from above to gain the advantage.
Meanwhile, Task Force 1, consisting of the carriers ROWS Arlington (CV-2) and ROWS Erie (CV-7), battleships ROWS North Dakota (BB-24) and ROWS Chesapeake (BB-25), five cruisers, and 12 destroyers get word of the early morning attack and prepare to launch a strike of their own to try and save the island. The Marine Fighters on the Arlington will be joining the fight and may end up landing on Wake later.

Flagship Musashi, Yamato-class Super battleship, Second Invasion Fleet, 15 km from Wake Island, March 15, 1940
The Admiral Ichijoji, who was placed in charge of the invasion of Wake Island stood inside the bridge watching the chaos unfold. He asked his Communications Officer, "Are the enemy artillery was knocked out yet?". The CO replied, "No sir, it seems as though many of their units are well hided." The Admiral then replied, "Then keep shelling the island. You know, I think we could get closer to the action. I wonder how those foreigners would react to being on the receiving end of a close-range 460 mm gun, let alone the nine of them on this ship." The IJN Musashi and the other battleships could be seen advancing towards the island.
Meanwhile, the fight in the air, the Mitsubishi A6M Zeros and the Mitsubishi G3Ms were on their way to their targets. When the enemy aircraft started targeting the bombers, the Zeros engaged the enemy aircraft to keep them busy. The pilots knew that if they could successfully carry out the attack, then it could severely weaken the enemy's defense.
The destroyers and cruisers were having a difficult time near the island due to the fire from the enemy's coastal artillery. The destroyers then deployed smokescreens to help hide the cruisers, while the destroyers retreated out of range from the enemy artillery. From behind the smoke screen, the cruisers continued to fire their guns at the shore, knowing that when the smoke clears they would have to find a new strategy. two destroyers and a cruiser were damaged from the enemy artillery.

The flagship continued to bombard Wake Island in order to take out the remaining batteries. The other battleships followed their flagship's example. Many shells flew through the air impacting areas all over the island.
The cruisers that were firing at the shores noticed that the enemy artillery started firing again. They started to retreat beyond the range of the enemy artillery. The ship the enemy initially fired at was not so lucky, as the enemy hit and caused the detonation of one of the cruiser's magazines, blowing apart the back half of the cruiser.
The imperial aircraft started taking advantage of the decline in the enemy aircrafts' performance and started engaging the enemy with even greater force. The bombers continued on their mission to level the remaining enemy forces on Wake Island. They were to clear way for the imperial forces to occupy the island.
OOC: How far away is that Task Force?

OOC: About 120 miles to the east.
Wake Island Naval Air Station and Marine Base
The bombardment continues to shake the island, Marine forces are still being hit hard by the constant naval gunfire. The shore batteries begin to fall silent. Four more batteries are knocked out by the shelling from the battleships, with two more batteries running dry of ammunition. Only one battery on Wilkes Island managed to keep firing, but ammunition is scarce.
The Marine fighter squadron, now broken off have nowhere to land due to the cratering of the runway on Wake. Several damaged aircraft make ditched landings in the lagoon to avoid being picked up by one of the enemy warships. Only two Marine fighters remain airborne and they attempt to try and take down as many planes as possible before they are forced to ditch. The first combat for the Marine aviators has been a disaster so far.
Task Force 1 launches launches it's strike from the carriers ROWS Arlington (CV-2) and ROWS Erie CV-7). The attack consists of Torpedo Squadrons 2(Arlington) and 7 (Erie), Bombing Groups 2 (Arlington) and 7 (Erie), Fighting Squadron 7 (Erie) and Marine Fighter Squadron 3. The total force is 76 SBD-3 Dauntless Dive Bombers, 36 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator Torpedo Bombers, and 46 F4F-3 Wildcat Fighters.
