2:45 pm Wake Island, Pacific Ocean


It was late afternoon when Jolmer landed on the beach. He had just finished a quick lunch, his Tiffin can held the requisite calories for a soldier. With his sniper rifle with him at all times, Jolmer checked the map. The situation revealed that except the South base and the Airfield, the rest was taken over by the US (Allies). He felt better knowing the situation at hand. After landing on the beach, he started to make his way to the Airfield. But the Japanese moved fast. The Beach came under attack and was under siege, and within a few minutes was taken over by the Axis.

He went to the Ammo room / Medical cabinet room at the Airfield and waited silently. Bombs were literally being dropped on the airfield by Japanese aircraft. Jolmer heard a loud shout from one of his teammates. A guy got killed. He felt a bit reluctant to go outside, and he was sure that the bomb coverage would be faster than he could possibly run.
At the same time, on the airfield, there was Baker reloading his gun. Just then “Bang” , a big sound was heard. An enemy jeep just blew up due to a mine placed by Jolmer.






On hearing the sound and the seeing the sight, Baker felt even more enthusiastic to kill more enemy soldiers. He spotted an aircraft on the runway. It was an American war plane. Baker decided to take it and do the same justice of bombing, which the Japs did to his mates and the field. The aircraft health indicator showed near fifty percent , but Baker decided to fight his teeth out. He taxied quickly and took off. He flew low over the airfield and the North base. He could see from his ‘war- map’ that the South base was taken over by the Axis. He banked to the left,
and flew the plane over the south base.
Exactly above the South base, Baker ejected. He was lucky that there was no Jap soldier at that point. He landed(parachuted) near a plane that was unoccupied. He was about to take over the South base when he saw a tank and three enemy soldier rushing towards the South base at full speed. “They must have come from the Beach”, Jolmer thought. Fighting a tank and three Jap assault soldiers would be deadly.
Without any delay, Baker jumped into the airplane and the plane roared to a takeoff. In the air, he studied his country’s position. The South base, the Village and the Beach, were taken by the Axis.
“Only two more bases of ours left”, he thought. A very few of his team mates went on with the battle.



From the air, he could see a Jap tank blow a jeep off the road, and Baker felt bad that his team was losing. The Japs were really fast, in terms of team coordination also. He flew very low over the airfield and dropped a few bombs. Baker checked his map. He saw to his shock that all the Bases, or control points were taken by the Japanese. The Allies’s score started dropping rapidly. Baker heaved a deep sigh. His team had lost this battle. Baker had no option left. He turned and flew the other way, from the island, he vowed to himself that he would return again.
