During the night, 200 Japanese soldiers decided to surprise the Gurkhas and to break their way to Taungdaw.
The first line of defence they encountered into was a small trench manned by Lachhiman Gurung and two other soldiers.
This trench was positioned on the jungle road that led straight to the camp.
If Gurung’s position was overrun, the entire camp would have been endangered...

Just more evidence for the saying
"when faced with fighting a gurka dont retreat. Run."

[Taistelukalkkuna]

This is the official version. The real reason he fought one handed, was to give Japanese a chance. It would seem like bragging otherwise.

[t-posetimmy]

Let’s say he defeated them single handily

[leegibbs]

I was too young to remember him but my uncle who fought in Burma once said that when the Gurkhas were around, you knew you were safe. I think I I understand why

[ryansherlock]

Taking the phrase 'Single Handedly' to a whole new level.

"If a man says he is not afraid of dying,  he is either lying or is a Gurka."

Fighting a Gurkha is one of the cruelest methods of suicide

[AxelSorr]

Japanese soldier: alright, there's only one more!
Also japanese soldier: *why do I hear boss music?*

[PassTheSnails]

He lost his depth perception from the blast as well? Dude imagine trying to aim a gun with your off hand, with your left eye, in pitch darkness, for four hours.

"I have an army"

Died at age 92. When Death slowly approached and politely asked "Hi, sorry to bother you, but would you mind..."

Japanese soldiers : *why do i hear boss music?*

When you have 1% HP and you have to clutch

As a Brit I know all about these legendary soldiers bravery - there is a Battalion stationed 20 miles down the road from where I live in Kent. When you meet them they are quite small in stature, very polite and a little reserved. I wouldn't want to be facing them in battle. Sure glad they're on our side!
