May 1940 Soviet forces continue to filter through holes in the line and take raw materials to the north of Roth. The second offensive against Roth itself begins as well. At 03:45 the gods of war speak (artillery barrage) and pour their thunderous voices onto the German defenses in the Roth area. At 04:30 the Penal Battalions spring into action and absorb many German bullets for Uncle Joe. These dregs of Soviet society have been re-educated and chant "We love Stalin!" repeatedly as they speed to their deaths. War is cruel on the Eastern front however these men do not die in vain. They clear a path in the outer defenses for the regulars who follow up at 04:58. Despite their machinegun barrels overheating the Germans are able to hold fast against the vicious onslaught. Manstein, the master of defense, commands the enemy troops in this area. STAVKA will have to try again once more forces are brought in. Another push is simultaneously launched just south of Roth. Smoke, cordite, flesh and blood fill the air with a foul stench and the defenses fall. The horde continues to assemble as more men are brought into this nightmare. The bright blue clear sky turns ash and grey as the battles continue to rage. Confused men on both sides wonder aloud if the end of the world is approaching, but everyone continues to perform their duties admirably. Rail communication to Roth severed. These battles are so fierce that what little intelligence is gathered is quickly locked tight and stamped Top Secret. Reports from the front continue to bombard the Kremlin. Stalin simply pours more vodka into his glass and continues sipping while he reads the dossiers.
