They Thought The Gurkha Was Dead — Until He Fought Off 200 Soldiers

Описание: #lachhimangurung #leeenfield #ww2 #militaryhistory

They left him for dead in a foxhole. But when 200 Japanese soldiers charged, Rifleman Gurung fought them off with one hand.
The Problem: In May 1945, the Japanese 54th Division was desperate to break out of a British encirclement in Burma. Their escape route ran directly through a single forward foxhole manned by Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung. The enemy needed to cross the river, and they were willing to sacrifice waves of men to overrun the tiny outpost.
The Risk: A grenade explosion ripped off Gurung's right arm and blinded his right eye within minutes of the attack. His squadmates retreated, believing the position was lost. Alone, bleeding, and crippled, Gurung faced a massive Banzai charge of 200 soldiers with only his left hand to operate his bolt-action rifle. If he failed, the entire Japanese division would escape.

✅In this video, we uncover:
-How a 4'11" Gurkha reinvented rifle mechanics to fire and reload a Lee-Enfield with just one hand.
-The grueling 4-hour stand where he kicked away grenades and held back an entire company.
-The aftermath where 31 enemy bodies were found piled just yards from his foxhole, proving the "demon" in the trench was real.
