Cavalry has been the nightmare of the farming nation since ancient times, how many farming nations at the peak of their strength, will always be completely destroyed by the iron hooves of these nomads, and the farming people in addition to using human lives to pile, or with tall city walls to block, there has been no very effective way to restrain the cavalry, until the emergence of machine guns This weapon, the cavalry was beaten down the altar of invincibility.

—Terry's Autobiography, Vol. 28

In the era of such single-shot rifles, cavalry was still a nightmare for infantry.

If the infantry could outnumber the cavalry several times, relying on the range of the rifle to fire a volley of guns, it would be possible to suppress the cavalry.

But the current situation is that the tribesmen with war horses are more numerous than the revolutionary army.

If it weren't for Terry Detective hearing this information now, even if he could easily break through this territory and get supplies tonight as planned. But when the High Priest had gathered all the tribal forces and suddenly attacked, the revolution army might face a catastrophe.

Thinking of these things, Terry's forehead couldn't help but drip a drop of cold sweat, and he didn't care to ask the already frightened Qingda in front of him any more, put away his rifle and turned around and asked Kayi to take the serfs to tie up these family members and Qingda, and then gave Kayi a few words, and hurried back alone.

When Terry hastily told Davis and Sean the news, the two could only look at each other, unable to think of any way to restrain the cavalry.

In the face of this situation now, the issue of supply is no longer the most important thing, according to everyone's analysis, the time for the High Priest to launch an attack will definitely not exceed tomorrow afternoon.

If, before the enemy attacks tomorrow afternoon, the Revolutionary Army has not thought of an effective way to deal with the cavalry, then it will be in vain to get more supplies.

"If only our troops had a few of Terry's rapid-fire weapons, it would be much easier to deal with these cavalry."

After discussing with Major Davis for a while, a confused Sean suddenly looked at the assault rifle that Terry was carrying on his chest.

Everyone knows the magic weapon in Terry's hand, although they have always had doubts, but this is the army, Major General Oprah didn't say anything, and the others didn't dare to say anything.

And in this team, Sean knows the most about Terry's weapon, although he has not used this weapon, but combined with Naboo's previous account of hunting horse bandits, Sean immediately thinks of the restraint of rapid-fire weapons on cavalry.

"Lieutenant Sean, you're right, but it's a pity that there is only one of them, it's too small, and it can't suppress so many cavalry."

Although Major Davis has always been only a civilian, after all, he has been in the army for so many years, and his understanding of weapons is not inferior to Sean, when he heard Sean's words, his eyes also lit up, but when he thought of the number of cavalry mentioned in the intelligence, his eyes that had just lit up immediately dimmed again.

The conversation between the two made Terry also fall into deep thought, of course, he was not thinking about countermeasures, after all, when it came to combat experience, he couldn't think of a better way than the two commanders if he wanted to break his head.

Terry seems to be thinking about something on the surface, but in fact, his consciousness has already opened the exchange list.

Sean's suggestion reminded him of one of the weapons on the list - the heavy machine gun.

In prehistoric civilization, in the early stage of the development of thermal weapons, it was also faced with the test of cavalry troops, although artillery can also effectively deal with cavalry, but it was not until the emergence of machine guns that the cavalry was completely knocked down from the altar.

There are many different types of machine guns on the exchange list, with different calibers and different exchange prices, but none of them are particularly satisfying to Terry.

It's not that Terry doesn't have enough gold to exchange for machine guns that can suppress these cavalry, it's just that it's a matter of bullets.

You must know that no matter what type of machine gun it is, while it has a high rate of fire, it is also a large consumer of ammunition.

For example, the MG42 heavy machine gun that Terry is most satisfied with, with a theoretical rate of fire of 800-1500 rounds, which can be said to be a nightmare for cavalry, and it is very light in weight and easy to disassemble, but with such a high rate of fire, the number of bullets consumed, it doesn't take much to fight, as long as a low-intensity battle, Terry can immediately bankrupt.

Although it is said that the guns and bullets exchanged by the system can destroy the enemy, Terry can still get rewards, but let these soldiers who have never seen machine guns use it, not to mention any machine gun tactics, it is estimated that once the tension is up, a bullet chain will not let go after the "Tutu Tutu" bullet chain is finished. Even if there are more enemies, this kind of play will never have a high kill ratio, so it is very not cost-effective.

There is a bigger problem for Terry to consider, and that is that the weapons it is now redeeming are not for his own use, but are delivered to Major General Oprah's troops.

If Terry exchanged the more advanced weapons at this time, in the future battles, in case they fell into the hands of the enemy, then this weapon could be copied by the enemy, and it was very terrible if such a thing happened before the revolutionary ranks were developed.

So after considering these problems, although Terry was very fond of those advanced machine guns, he finally chose to give up.

After looking through the list several times, finally at the suggestion of the system, a Maxim heavy machine gun came into Terry's sight.

The Maschinengewehr 08, or MG08 for short, is a water-cooled heavy machine gun that uses 7.92mm rounds, and although the combination of the bulky H-gun mount makes this machine gun very less mobile, it is ideal for defense.

The theoretical rate of fire is 400-450 rounds, and the bullets consumed are still within the tolerance range of Terry, you must know that this heavy machine gun was often used in prehistoric civilizations, even if it was a unit lacking ammunition.

Although the rate of fire of this heavy machine gun is not as perverted as the MG42, it does not mean that its power will be much less, as long as it is used correctly, the lethality of this machine gun is definitely not inferior to any machine gun of the same type.

However, this bulky heavy machine gun is very suitable for novices, and it is precisely because of this bulkiness that the body of this heavy machine gun is very stable, which can more effectively improve the efficiency and consumption ratio, so that Terry will not fall into the dilemma of making ends meet.

Of course, in addition to being bulky, this machine gun also has a flaw, in severe cold conditions, when the machine gun is in a state of readiness, the cooling water will quickly freeze, but this problem is also made Terry hesitate for a moment and ignore it, after all, the heavy machine gun is now only used as defense, and in the case of preparation, this is not a problem at all.

"Second Lieutenant Terry, your speed is relatively fast, so you can report this situation to the major general first, and see what the general has to say."

While Turry was considering which heavy machine gun to exchange, Major Davis and Lieutenant Sean on the side had already discussed the battle plan.

"Yes, Major."

Davis and Terry also heard their conversation, but their plan did not affect his own thoughts, so he did not immediately say his thoughts at this time, after all, he could not take out the machine gun rashly in public.
