The day of 5 May started with bangs heard in Providence. The police was called in and reported anarchist militias in huge numbers swarming in Providence from all sides. Over 50 000 troops had been seen surrounding the city from all sides.
Earlier with one month, the anarchist committees had held a secret meeting over the drafting of all the available reserves, resulting in a 80 000 army size in total with all the recruitment and aid from abroad or internally, almost half of these being new recruiters and untrained, having no battle experience as well. The new men went through light training over the course of a month being armed with military graded weapons and gear. This and alongside further seizure of military pieces, guns and vehicles continued as anarchists raided several military bases with resounding successes under the Roy Rohm leadership, the anarchist charismatic revolutionary, who is known for his achievements and strong will as well his adherence to anarchist ideals, giving people hope everywhere he goes. The committees had decided is time to start the struggle for liberation of the working classes, issuing a war plan which involved a surprise attack on Providence from all sides as well cutting off the city from the rest of Lodamun.
The troops had started training and preparation plans and exercises, as such on 5 May the syndicalist combatant forces had ensued a siege onto Providence, using artillery bombardments and bombing via the captured planes, as well sending people to clear the way for the tanks and other heavy and well armored vehicles with machine guns and other turrets. The militias focused on surprising capitalist forces still retreating as well capturing strategic points such as broadcasting/communication facilities, commercial centers, bridges, railways and outposts. The overwhelming forces had breached successfully the weak defense lines of the authorities formed of police and some soldiers, who were surprised by the sudden massive flow of men into the capital determined to capture it. The casualties are still not known, as the battle for Providence just began.
The possibility of anarchists capturing Providence, the capital of Lodamun had revitalized and energized variou groups of armed anarchists and angry protesters to form organizations and militias, causing violence and chaos everywhere as people see the possible fall of Providence as a successful anarchist revolution, which increases in popularity by the day despite the last elections. The militias are being hold back for now in Providence, but not for long, as new columns of militants come in the aid of the armed forces of the syndicalists. With the aid from Dundorf to come, and with the spirit for fight and change, the militias are fiercely fighting hard. Is it yet to be seen if Providence will fall into anarchists hands.
