Chapter 27: Torrential Rain

  The night grew darker and Zhang Feng's war chariot was still searching.

  There's only enough fuel for one more day. Leave half behind and return if the other party's trail is still not found, this trip will end in failure.

  Damn it, Uncle Ibrahim, if he had given himself a doe deer, he would have found the opponent's nest early on, why bother now like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.

  The moon in the sky hung high, as if also watching them like flies in the swamp.

  The moon is bright in my hometown, Zhang Feng has been here for half a month now, he's still thinking about the situation in his motherland, unfortunately, all of that has already left him far behind, now, he is a glorious Iraqi soldier guarding the true Lord.

  Zhang Feng looked up at the sky through the gun turret, and the night was so quiet, as if telling him that the truth of life lies in struggle and dedication.

  Suddenly, Zhang Feng's face changed drastically, and the familiar moon became increasingly dim.

  Thick dark clouds obscured the bright moonlight and the marshes of Susangirde.

  Dark clouds gather, this is an omen of a great rain!

  "Hurry up and inform the other two armored vehicles to gather in front and return quickly!"

  It's crucial to search for the enemy, but one's own life is also important. The heavy rain is approaching, and if at that time, I still can't get out of the swamp, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get out again.

  "Crack!" In the sky, a bright lightning bolt came down, rumbling and booming sounds, striking Zhang Feng's heart.

  "Go, full speed ahead!" Zhang Feng said, jumping down from the turret and closing the cover above.

  The next moment, the sound of heavy raindrops hitting the steel armor of the war chariot was heard, and it sounded very loud.

  My god, I didn't expect that the rain in these two river basins would be no less intense than the torrential rains in southern China.

  If another mountain flood bursts out, I'll be stuck here for good.

  "Hurry, hurry and open!" In this swamp area, there is nowhere to hide from the rain. The only way out is to quickly leave the swamp area, but unfortunately, it's not that easy. They have been walking in the swamp for two days and have already gone deep into the interior of the swamp.

  Zhang Feng didn't know that there was someone who hated the current weather even more than he did.

  "Those so-called weather experts, how dare they blaspheme the Almighty like this? Such a huge storm, couldn't they have predicted it?" Rajavi thundered.

  At this time, all his armored troops had arrived at the final assembly point and were about to launch an attack tomorrow, but such a big mistake occurred today.

  Why did this torrential rain suddenly fall without any warning at this time? Rajavi was extremely angry. After the rain, how could his armored troops launch a surprise attack and pass through from the north? Now, even the swamp can't get out, and it's impossible to go back.

  If our armored units hadn't already reached this high ground, they might have been wiped out in that damned swamp by the storm.

  How can he not resent those meteorological experts who vowed that there would be no heavy rain recently? How can those old men with a big beard say nonsense with their eyes open?

  Rajavi actually wronged them, he didn't know how difficult it was to forecast the weather.

  A butterfly flapping its wings in Asia may cause a hurricane in the Pacific. A small difference in initial conditions can result in vastly different outcomes, this is known as the Butterfly Effect. The Butterfly Effect illustrates that weather forecasting has a high degree of uncertainty, even with massive computers simulating calculations, only rough forecasts can be made.

  The meteorological experts were wrong this time, and as a result, Rajavi's armored division was in an extremely difficult situation.

  The world is chaotic, and Zhang Feng's butterfly effect has caused the Middle East to deviate from its original historical development path.

  After the rain, the marshy area will become extremely muddy within a few days. In this case, it will be very difficult to maneuver again in the marshy area, and for armored units, these few days are their death zone.

  The only fortunate thing is that the supply convoy had temporarily stored fuel, ammunition and food here, and when they went back to transport the second batch of supplies, they could spend the most difficult days without logistical threats.

  Once the weather clears up and the marsh dries out again, they can move again.

  Compared with Rajavi's armored division, Zhang Feng's troubles are much greater.

  The armored vehicle's headlights were already on, shining brightly, but the light couldn't reach 20 meters away. The rain near the headlights had all been evaporated into water vapor. Now, hiding one's tracks was secondary; being able to escape the swamp was the greatest luck in the face of nature.

  In the hazy rain, the Type 63 armored car is moving with difficulty.

  Although it has a relatively wide track, in the increasingly slippery swamp, it is already somewhat powerless. Through the observation hole in front, Serad, who was driving the armored vehicle, drove carefully and tried to distinguish where was easier to walk and where was hidden danger.

  God bless! Selah thought in her heart.

  Suddenly, he saw two beams of light on the side, and after straining his eyes, it turned out to be armored vehicle No. 02, led by another small team led by Waleed.

  "Unit 02, I've got you in sight." Seraph shouted over the radio.

  A voice with a huge interference noise came from inside: "Thank God, I finally found you." Waleed's tense mood finally relaxed. If something unexpected happened to Khuzayma here, he would also have to bear great responsibility, because he was the bodyguard personally chosen by Khuzayma, it was his duty.

  Car No. 02 changes direction and prepares to run with Car No. 01 together.

  Suddenly, the armored vehicle's loudspeaker declaration grew louder, and the seasoned warrior's face turned pale in an instant.

  That's the sound of the tracks spinning freely, indicating that the armored vehicle has become stuck!

  "Hurry up and try reverse gear."

  The driver shifted into reverse gear, but the armored vehicle still didn't budge. On the contrary, the special forces team members sitting in the car felt that the body had already started to tilt.

  "Vehicle 2, you've encountered an unexpected situation?" Sera saw that the opponent's light pillar had already reached the sky, it was clear that the armored vehicle was stuck.

  "Yes, we've encountered some trouble, and we're working on resolving it," Varick said.

  Serra wanted to turn around and go help, but was stopped by Zhang Feng in time: "Can't go over, since they've already gotten stuck, that means there's a problem with that place, we have to go check it out first. If we're also stuck, what then?"

  Serra's face turned red. Earlier, she was in a hurry and really forgot about this important matter. She had to go down and take a look first, otherwise her own car would get stuck too, and that would be the end of it.

  "I'll go." Hades volunteered.

  It's raining heavily outside, going out would make you a drowned rat, but for special forces, this kind of weather must be adapted to.

  "Stay where you are, Hadis and I will go down." Zhang Feng said, opening the rear door, and was the first to jump out.

  The raindrops as big as beans hit his body, and Zhang Feng shuddered suddenly. Although he had adapted to this kind of weather in his previous life, however, Kusay's body had not been tempered by him yet, and it was unknown whether this leather bag could withstand this torrential downpour?

  Zhang Feng didn't hesitate and ran towards the trapped car at the fastest speed.

  Hades jumped down and glanced at his companions with disdain in his eyes.

  The half-track of the 02 vehicle was deeply stuck in the mud, and the tilt angle of the body had exceeded thirty degrees. Varykh had taken all the crew members down from the vehicle and was desperately pushing the body to get the armored vehicle out of danger.

  Mud splashed all over them and was washed away by the heavy rain, leaving each of them exhausted.

  Zhang Feng fell while running and scraped his knee, but didn't have time to worry about it. He ran to the side of the armored vehicle, feeling extremely disheartened.

  This armored vehicle is probably beyond salvation.

  "Hurry up, take all the equipment out of the armored vehicle and put it in my car," Zhang Feng said.

  "No, we can definitely get the armored vehicle out of danger," Warikh said, only to suddenly realize that the one standing in front of him was Kusay Fakh.

  "Report..." Varikh was about to say something else when Zhang Feng interrupted him: "Listen to my order, immediately carry your equipment and transfer to my armored vehicle."

  "What about this one?" Valyakh said.

  "Abandon it on the spot." Zhang Feng said: "Carry out the order quickly!"

  "Yes!" Varikh shouted loudly: "Second team, all of you, transfer equipment to vehicle No. 01 immediately, take action now!

  After finishing speaking, he ran into the armored vehicle and took out his equipment.

  As a commander, you must be decisive. If it were peacetime, this armored vehicle could be towed out by two tanks. Now, in this heavy rain, using another same-model armored vehicle is somewhat difficult and also wastes time. The longer the delay, the more likely danger will arise.

  "Report, I failed to complete the mission, please punish me, Captain." The armored vehicle driver jumped out of the armored vehicle and said.

  "Get the eggs out of the way, hurry up and get to vehicle No. 01," Zhang Feng said. In this kind of weather, encountering this kind of situation, it's not the driver's fault at all. This is war. Even in peacetime training, there are accidents, let alone now.

  Vehicle No. 01, packed to the brim, headed back once again. Zhang Feng's heart began to worry about Malwan's squad, which had initially been in contact via radio but now seemed to have lost contact with his vehicle No. 03 due to interference.

  When Zhang Feng finally left the 02 car, he asked the driver to take all the remaining fuel in the vehicle with him. Finally, a hand grenade was laid on the rear door. As long as the door is opened, the armored vehicle will explode.

  If the armored vehicle hasn't sunk by tomorrow and is discovered by the Iranians, let them taste the flavor of a hand grenade.
