That's a great (if hyperbole)story. These are tough little killers. I've read stories of WWII where they would infiltrate Nazi camps, go into one tent, and slit the throat of just one soldier, and sneak off into the night. The next morning when the soldier was found, the entire squad would freak out.

Then there is the story about British 100 British soldiers being dared to attack a lone Gurka soldier occupying a position. After quite a period of time, a sole British soldier eventually crawls back to his own lines just as his commander is about to send reinforcements. The one survivor from the first assault warns his commander, "Don't do it. He lied. There's two of them."

I heard that once in North Africa, a German charged a Gurkha with a bayonet.
The Gurka took a swipe at him with his Kukhri knife.
The German, figuring he then had the upper hand, laughed and said Aha, you missed!
The Gurka said "Shake your head."
You figure out the rest...
