Japan's Worst Mistake — Thinking a One-Armed Gurkha Was "Harmless" Cost Them 200 Soldiers

Описание: Japan's Worst Mistake — Thinking a One-Armed Gurkha Was "Harmless" Cost Them 200 Soldiers

Why 200 Japanese soldiers thought a one-armed wounded Gurkha was harmless — and how he killed 31 of them in four hours with a kukri and one functioning hand. This World War 2 story reveals the most incredible last stand in military history.

May 13, 1945. 0120 hours. Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung caught the first Japanese grenade with his right hand and threw it back. Three enemy soldiers died. He caught the second grenade and threw it back. Two more died. The third grenade exploded before he could release it. His right hand disappeared in a flash of shrapnel and blood.

200 Japanese soldiers were advancing through the darkness. His two fellow riflemen were dead or wounded. The main defensive line was 150 yards behind him. Standard combat assessment said retreat. Standard military logic said a man with his hand blown off was finished.
