레슨 만드는 중...
1
It's December 11, 1941, and the Japanese cruiser Yubari fires with her 5.5-inch guns.
2
The target is the American-held Wake Island.
3
In command is Rear Admiral Sadamichi Kajioka, who's been told by Japanese intelligence that Wake Island is practically defenseless.
4
The rest of Kajioka's task force joins in.
5
Two more light cruisers and six destroyers assist with the bombardment.
6
On the beaches of Wake Island, US Marine gunners hunker down in the dugouts of their 5-inch
7
coastal defense guns as the massive Japanese shells kick up fountains of dust and coral.
8
The gunnery officers call into their radios requesting permission to return fire.
9
The island's commanding officer, Commander Winfield S.
10
Cunningham, orders his men to hold on.
11
He knows that Wake Island's old 5-inch guns are outranged by the Japanese cruisers.
12
The Marines must hold their nerve until the Japanese ships get closer.
13
His men don't understand why Cunningham won't let them fire back.
14
They curse Cunningham under their breath for putting them in such danger.
15
Out at sea the Japanese can't cede the well-camouflage gun positions.
16
And it seems like Wake Island is completely silent.
17
With all enemy defenses seemingly taken out, Kajioka orders the troops to be deployed to be deployed.
18
Behind the warships are two troopships packed with men from the Special Naval Landing Force.
19
Japanese bayonets glint in the early morning light as they get ready to storm the beaches and bring glory to the Empire.
20
But the Japanese overconfidence brings them in range of the Marines' coastal guns.
21
Finally, Cunningham's voice comes over the field telephone, ordering the Marines to open fire.
22
The Marines quickly elevate their guns and get the Japanese cruisers sighted.
23
Already loaded, they fire off a first volley of shots within seconds.
24
The 5-inch shells race across the water towards the Japanese fleet.
25
Kajioka's flagship is rocked as a massive spurt of water shoots up and splashes the windows of the bridge.
26
Moments later, there's another.
27
Round splashed down in the water all around his task force.
28
Kajioka tracks the shells back towards the island and is completely shocked to see flashes of light crackle along the beaches.
29
On the beach, the marines heave their 5-inch shells into the breach to reload their guns.
30
Adjusting their aim, Yubari is in their sights.
31
The 5-inch shell bursts from the muzzle and tears through the air towards the flagship.
32
Kajioka is knocked off his feet as the round slams into his ship, shaking the entire vessel.
33
Alarms blare across Yubari, it's only a minor hit, and the ship's still running.
34
But Kajioka wastes no time in taking evasive action.
35
Let's get the end of the tunnel.
36
Let's go to the front.
37
A thick cloud of grey smoke billows out as the fleet turns swiftly around
38
and accelerates away from the coast under its cover.
39
But not everyone else acts as quickly.
40
Suddenly an enormous blast rumbles across the sea.
41
The destroyer Hayate is shrouded in an enormous explosion.
42
It's a critical hit which ignites the magazine and sends a gigantic cloud of thick rolling black smoke rising from the water.
43
The destroyer is torn in half and the two sections of hull rapidly sink beneath the waves.
44
In just a matter of seconds there's nothing left except a field of debris.
45
Kajioka knows that there will be no survivors.
46
He curses the faulty Japanese intelligence that has cost the lives from the crew of the Hayati.
47
He's got no choice but to call off the landing.
48
The cruisers steam away, followed by the surviving destroyers and the landing ships.
49
Back on Wake Island's command post, Cunningham isn't going to let them get away.
50
Send in the Wildcats!
51
He's gambling his last four remaining fighter planes to hunt down the Japanese ships.
52
High above the island, four Marine Corps F-4F Wildcats break off in pursuit of the retreating Japanese force.
53
In the lead is Marine Fighter Squadron Commander Major Paul Putnam.
54
Flying alongside him is Captain Henry Hank Alrod.
55
Each plane carries two 100-pound bombs beneath its wings.
56
Hank spots the Japanese fleet first.
57
I see them.
58
I'm going for the destroyer.
59
Pushing the nose down, he starts diving towards the Japanese destroyer Kisaragi, while the other Wildcats split and each take a target from the remaining enemy ships.
60
Across the Japanese task force, lookouts sound the alarm.
61
Sailors sprint to their anti-aircraft guns, slapping on magazines and swiveling around to confront the approaching Wildcats.
62
The Japanese gunners start to fire as tracers snake into the sky.
63
They send a storm of bullets towards the American planes.
64
Approaching the ship from the rear, the Wildcat rocks with impact.
65
Hank grits his teeth and holds his nerve, lining up Kisaragi in his gun sight.
66
He strafes the ship with bullets as he moves from stern to bow and punches the bomb release.
67
Bombs come crashing down and punch through the deck plating before burrowing inside and exploding deep within the ship.
68
Flames flash across the deck and Kisaragi drifts to a halt.
69
All out of bombs and ammunition, the Wildcats head back to Wake Island to rearm for another round of attacks.
70
On the Kisaragi, sailors fight desperately against the flames, but the Inferno is just too fierce.
71
Fire reaches the stern igniting a rack full of depth charges.
72
The charges cook off creating a series of thunderous explosions.
73
From the bridge of Yubari, Rear Admiral Kajioka watches in angst as the destroyer is torn apart along with 150 men.
74
Grim-faced Kajioka orders his surviving ships to return to base.
75
As the Japanese retreat, the Wildcats are on their way back to the airfield.
76
Hank has just become the first American pilot to sink a Japanese warship.
77
But there's no time for celebration as his aircraft suddenly starts shuddering violently.
78
In the cockpit the fuel needle collapses to zero and within seconds the engine sputters and goes silent.
79
The damage he took from the Japanese anti-aircraft guns has crippled his plane.
80
He starts losing speed and altitude rapidly.
81
Hank looks around for an option.
82
Then he sees it, a long and smooth section of beach.
83
He decides to try and land his Wildcat.
84
Down below, the commander of the Marine Ground Forces, Major James Devereaux, sees the Wildcat gliding in towards the beach with smoke trailing behind him.
85
Dropping everything, Devereaux runs towards the beach.
86
Back in the cockpit, Hank fights with the controls, trying to get every foot of altitude.
87
The yellow sand at the beach fills his windscreen and he braces for impact.
88
The Wildcat slams into the ground, grinding over the stones and rocks.
89
Finally, the plane skids to a halt.
90
Devereaux reaches the crashed Wildcat seconds later.
91
The plane is completely twisted and broken.
92
The cockpit canopy is still jammed shut and he can't see any movement inside.
93
He bangs on the glass.
94
Hank!
95
Devereaux slides back the canopy.
96
Miraculously, it reveals that Hank's unhurt, and he's more worried about the aircraft than himself.
97
I'm sorry as hell about the plane, sir.
98
There's no way that Hank's plane can be returned to service.
99
The Americans are left with just three operational Wildcats to defend the skies.
100
Over the next few days, the Japanese redouble their efforts to neutralize the marine defenses with multiple bombing raids.
101
After relentless air combat, only two battle-worn Wildcats remain operational on the island.
102
Kajioka gets reinforcements from the Naval High Command.
103
The aircraft carriers Suryu and Hiryu bring almost 120 aircraft to the fight.
104
On December 22nd they launch a massive bombing raid with 33 bombers escorted by 6 A6M Zero fighter planes.
105
The Japanese bombers approach Wake Island from the north, where Captain Herbert Freuler spots them while flying a combat air patrol.
106
and he's on patrol.
107
Freuler radios the other wildcat, but it's still several minutes away on a patrol south of the island.
108
The bombers are escorted by Zeros.
109
Despite being outnumbered 6 to 1 by the Zeros, he doesn't hesitate and dives his aircraft down towards them.
110
He lines up a bomber in his sights and squeezes the trigger for his machine guns.
111
In seconds the bomber is burning and falling down towards the water.
112
The escorting Zeroes break off to pursue him.
113
Moments later, in another Wildcat, 2nd Lieutenant Carl Davidson arrives on the scene.
114
He sees the shapes in the distance emerging ahead of him.
115
A group of fighters are dogfighting, one of them must be Froiler.
116
But down below, the Japanese bombers are still heading towards their target.
117
He has to choose.
118
Save his friend or try and save Wake Island.
119
Davidson knows what he needs to do.
120
and he tips his nose down to follow the enemy bombers.
121
He quickly closes in on the slow bombers and fires off a burst from his guns.
122
The first bomber goes down in a smoking wreck.
123
Davidson then pulls around in a wide loop for another run.
124
He's focusing through the gun sight, lining up his next target.
125
But he doesn't notice a Zero bursting through the sky behind him.
126
Out of nowhere, the Zero's cannon fire smashes into his plane.
127
Davidson fights with the controls trying to pull out of the firing line, but it's no use.
128
His plane's burning and it isn't responding.
129
Davidson plunges down towards the ocean.
130
He doesn't have any time to bail out before his plane hammers into the surface of the water
131
and it shatters all around him.
132
Froiler sees the terrible sight of his friend Davidson's plane sinking below the waves.
133
But he has no time to mourn.
134
He still has to escape the enemy fighter on its tail.
135
Froiler pulls his stick this way and that, trying to evade the incoming fire, but he can't escape the Japanese pilot.
136
Cannon rounds tear onto the Wildcat.
137
Froiler screams out in pain and desperately grips the stick.
138
His plane's still flying properly and he keeps on making evasive maneuvers.
139
He sees that the bombers are continuing on to their targets.
140
They drop their bombs and strike facilities across Wake Island.
141
Explosions and fires rage across the island as the bombers pull away and head back to their carriers.
142
Once again, Wake Island burns.
143
More rounds come bursting in Froyler's play and he's sure that this is the end.
144
But then, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the Zero turn away.
145
With a bombing run complete, the Zeros break off the attack.
146
Froiler nurses his plane back towards Wake Island's runway.
147
Fighting through the agony of his shrapnel wounds, he manages to set the Wildcat down safely.
148
The engineers rush out to take a look at the plane.
149
With one look, they know it's hopeless.
150
The Wildcat is riddled with bullet holes.
151
There's nothing they can do.
152
With Davidson shot down and Froiler damaged beyond repair, Wake Island is all out of fighter aircraft.
153
Just after midnight on December the 23rd, Marine sentries spot lights flickering on the dark horizon.
154
Cunningham orders his defenders to take their positions for a last stand.
155
With their planes out of action, the Marine aviators fight as infantrymen.
156
Hank and Major Putnam are positioned to defend the last remaining 3-inch anti-aircraft gun on the edge of the airfield.
157
Out in the distance, Kajioka's task force moves into position.
158
The Japanese Admiral is determined to get revenge for his lost ships and take Wake Island.
159
The cruisers unleash a formidable range of shell fire.
160
The 5 and 8 inch shells crash down onto the island.
161
Then the firing stops.
162
Two destroyers that have been converted into landing ships steam into the southern shore of the island
163
and pile up onto the beach and 1,000 Japanese infantrymen start their attack.
164
In the darkness, the marines can just make out noises in the distance.
165
They send up illumination flares, revealing two big ships close enough to be hit by the 3-inch gun.
166
The Marine gunners quickly get the 3-inch gun horizontal and centered onto one of the landing ships.
167
The shell flies off the gun towards the beach Japanese landing ship and smashes into the hull with a loud bang.
168
The gun was designed to take down enemy aircraft, but it's just as effective in this role.
169
For a brief moment, the Marines feel like they can hold the line.
170
But then… Open fire!
171
Bullets start whizzing past the Americans.
172
Spread among the trees and undergrowth, the Japanese troops have begun their attack.
173
The marine aviators blaze away, firing through the trees and undergrowth that separate them from the beaches.
174
Next to Hank, a .30 caliber machine gun barks away, spraying rounds into the Japanese.
175
But there's just too many of them.
176
Hank hears a scream as one of the men goes down, clutching a bullet wound.
177
A squad of Japanese soldiers comes charging towards his position, bayonets fixed and desperate to take the three-inch gun.
178
Hank shoulders his Tommy gun and quickly fires off several bursts of 45 ACP rounds.
179
The bullets smack into the leading Japanese soldiers, bringing them down and breaking the charge.
180
The Japanese squad immediately hunkers down.
181
But Hank knows the Americans can't hold out much longer.
182
Then word comes over the radio.
183
Major Devereaux orders to fall back to the inner perimeter.
184
The Marines start pulling back through the bushes.
185
Hank knows the Japanese will cut them down if he doesn't do something.
186
He grabs a grenade ready to hurl it into the enemy line.
187
He waits as the Japanese soldiers close in.
188
Then Hank rises up.
189
From a concealed position, a Japanese soldier takes a shot.
190
Hank never hears the bullet.
191
He falls to the ground.
192
Putnam is already scrambling back when he realizes Hank is no longer beside him.
193
Hank!
194
Hank!
195
He turns and sees Hank's body lying still.
196
Putnam grabs Hank's arms and pulls with all his strength, dragging his friend back through the trees.
197
Bullets crack all around him, but he doesn't stop until he's safely back behind marine lines.
198
Major Devereaux sees Putnam arrive and rushes over to check on Hank.
199
Hank's dead.
200
There's no time to mourn.
201
Devereaux, Putnam and the other Marines fight for their lives as the Japanese troops come crashing towards them.
202
In his command post, Cunningham knows that he can't keep on fighting.
203
Finally, with a heavy heart, he steps out of his command post.
204
The Japanese have won.
205
The guns fall silent and Japanese troops round up the surviving Americans and take them prisoner.
206
On the bridge of Yubari, Kajioka allows himself a moment to savour his victory.
207
Wake Island belongs to the Japanese Empire, but the cost was far higher than expected.
208
Cunningham, Putnam and Devereaux would survive years of brutal captivity before returning to the US in 1945.
209
Henry Hank T.
210
Aurod was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
