Overview:
To ensure success for the second Wake invasion, the Japanese high command strengthened the invasion force with additional Rikusentai (Special Naval Landing Force) troops, four 8” gun cruisers and the carriers Soryu and Hiryu. Daily bomber attacks from Japanese bases in the Marshall Islands pummeled the atoll. Even with the addition of the personnel of Marine Fighter Squadron VMF-211 who reported as infantry after their Wildcat fighters were destroyed, the defiant Marine garrison on Wake Island was still badly understrength, and no relief would be coming. In the early morning of December 23rd, lookouts spotted lights offshore. The second invasion of Wake had begun.Attacker: Japanese (Elements of the 2nd Maizuru Special Naval Landing Force and 6th Base Force Special Landing Force plus Elements of Itaya Company)
Defender: American (USMC) (Elements of the 1st Marine Defense Battalion, Fighter Squadron VMF-211 and ad hoc Naval and Civilian personnel and elements of Battery "D")
