The "Gurkha Cavalry" is not a military branch, but a mercenary organization.

For more than two hundred years, a unique force has existed in the British Army - Gurkha mercenaries from Nepal.

The Gurkha mercenaries are called "the best soldiers in Asia" by Western media, and rank third among the top ten mercenaries in the world. Their predecessor was the "Royal Gurkha Rifle Regiment".

In 1814, the East India Company, which colonized India, formally declared war on Nepal on the grounds that the Nepali army killed 18 British soldiers in a border conflict and sent 50,000 troops to carry out a "punitive conquest" against it.

I thought that the British army with large numbers and well-armed weapons would conquer Nepal with an overwhelming advantage. However, the Nepalese defenders, who included women and children, resisted tenaciously, not only repelled the British attack, but also killed the British commander.

In the first year of the war, the British army was beaten up miserably. The next year, the East India Company organized another 20,000 British troops to attack Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. If nothing unexpected happened, it was stubbornly resisted by the first defenders of Nepal, with heavy casualties.

When the war was stalemate, the British army discovered a path leading directly to Kathmandu in the forest. At the end of the force, the British army decided to take a desperate bet and organized a suicide squad. After a difficult trek, the suicide squad suddenly appeared behind the Nepalese defenders. The unprepared defenders paid a heavy price. After this twisted battle, Nepal's last line of defense was defeated, and there was no danger to defend near Kathmandu. After the British army used elephants to pull cannons at Kathmandu, the defenders were forced to surrender.

In 1816, the Kingdom of Nepal and the British East India Company officially signed the Sagoli Treaty, the city alliance. The Nepales paid a heavy price for their "resistance" and were forced to ced 1/3 of their territory.

However, the Nepali still retained their independence after the defeat, which was largely due to the British's fear of the Qing Empire. If Nepal annexed Nepal, the borders between Britain and the Qing Empire would be connected. If the two countries contempt each other, war would be inevitable. At that time, Britain thought that it did not have enough strength to confront the Qing Empire.

During the British-Nepal War, the East India Company found that the Nepalese people were loyal and resistant to war, especially the soldiers from the Gurkha region of Nepal. Their iconic Gurkha scimitar made the British troops fighting with them frightened.

Later, the British team began to recruit Gurkha people and cultivate them as their own combat power.

In the hundreds of years after that, the Gurkhas gradually became part of the British armed forces and made significant contributions to the British colonial rule in South Asia. The Gurkha mercenaries were also one of the few large and established mercenaries.

The Gurkhas also played an important role in both world wars. During World War I, more than 20,000 people fought in Europe. During World War II, the Gurkhas fought for the British army reached 250,000. They fought in Europe, North Africa, South Asia, Germany and Italy. Tens of thousands of people paid the price of their lives for this.

Shortly after the war, Britain's colonial rule over India came to an end, and India declared independence. Surprisingly, the history of the Gurkha mercenaries continued. At that time, the commander-in-chief of the British army stationed in India wrote a letter to the British-Indian Governor, claiming that since the Gurkha's reputation was already familiar to the British of all classes, they should continue to be used.

To this day, the 6 Gurkha mercenaries who stay in India [31 Novel Network] not only have the Karkha mercenaries maintained their original identity, but each regiment has expanded from the original 2 battalions to 5 battalions. The 4 Gurkha mercenaries classified as Britain were eventually integrated into one brigade. India recruited 2,000 Gurkha mercenaries every year, and at the same time, only 230 Gurkha people joined the British team. This mercenary legend that lasted for 200 years is still continuing.

During the 1982 British and Argentina's Cabernet War, the Gurkha mercenaries were once again well known to the world for their excellent performance.

In Western media descriptions, Gurkha mercenaries play a role most of the time, just like the special forces of a country today. They always appear in the most dangerous places and play a vital role.

An American media once wrote an article claiming that "The Gurkha soldiers have almost perfect military qualities and are the 'the best soldier in Asia' and perhaps the best infantry in modern history."

This is actually a bit exaggerated, mainly because the British army soldiers who fought with him were not very combative, and the British army who were beaten in the British and French wars were powerless to fight back, and even the "scrap on the ground" mentioned by the Duke of Wellington...

After listening to Jin Guoqiang's introduction of this history of Gurkha mercenaries, Zi Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have a lot of ink in your belly, and you know so much historical knowledge."

Jin Guoqiang said seriously: "China and India have had many disputes and armed frictions over border issues, and there are all Gurkha mercenaries in it. Understanding the opponent's background is also our necessary homework."

Zi Yang nodded and said, "You are right. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles - but with just a knife and a tattoo, can you be sure that they are Gurkha people? Some little hooligans in our hometown also like to tattoo hairtails on their bodies and put blades on their waists to pretend to be underworld."

Jin Guoqiang pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "The characteristics of the Gurkha mercenaries are quite obvious. Because they live in the plateau area, they are relatively short, with an average height of only 1.6 meters. But their appearance is no different from that of Asians."

梓杨经靳国强这么一提醒,发觉这两具尸体看起来确实体型较小,虽然已经成为湿尸,面容难以辨认,但是黑色的头发和五官看起来跟黄种人没什么两样.

Jin Guoqiang continued: "The biggest feature of Gurkha mercenaries is that they are equipped with Gurkha scimitar, also known as dog-legged scimitar, scientifically called Cookie Reverse Knife. This kind of scimitar is made in complex craftsmanship and exquisite materials, and not everyone can afford it.

The shape of the Gurkha scimitar is very special. The blade is bent forward at a larger angle. The blade is extremely sharp and the blade is heavy. This design is to distribute weight at the end of the blade to increase the speed and power when cutting. An adult Gurkha man can cut off the buffalo's head with one knife, so this scimitar is very threatening in hand-to-hand combat."

Although Jin Guoqiang is usually taciturn, he talks about weapons and talks endlessly. While speaking, he stands up and gestures with the Gurkha scimitar in his hand: "The Gurkha has many uses. The tip can stab the target, and the curved blade can cut or hit the target. If you deal with the opponent that appears on the front, Gurkha soldiers often use the method of slashing left and right; if the opponent is on the side of the body, then you just need to pull the blade back to easily cut off the opponent's throat and neck."

Seeing Jin Guoqiang skillfully use the Gurkha scimitar to demonstrate combat, Zi Yang not only said with some admiration: "Captain Jin is so familiar with the Gurkha moves. Have you ever been with them?"

Jin Guoqiang did not answer him or deny it, it seemed like he had made a default.

"In fact, the Gurkha mercenaries have fought with the People's Liberation Army many times, resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, Sino-Indian border war, and..."

Jin Guoqiang paused for a moment when he said this, and continued in a different tone: "Although the Gurkha mercenaries were boasted as being invincible in the world by hand, they were killed by our army's triangular bayonets many times and threw away their armor and ran away with their heads in their arms."

Su Rui, who was sitting silently resting next to him, suddenly asked, "Captain, why did the Gurkha soldiers appear here? What is their relationship with Professor Zhang?"

Su Rui knew in his heart that in the military hospital, the nanocloths they wore were taken away by the staff. Now it can be basically confirmed that the nanocloths finally fell into Professor Zhang's hands, and the two Gurkha mercenaries appeared in the pool surveyed by Professor Zhang in nanocloths, indicating that there may be a deep connection between the two.

Jin Guoqiang hesitated and said, "I guess, these two people are likely to be Professor Zhang's subordinates! The Gurkha mercenaries were born for combat, but after retirement, they were not used to ordinary life. Some of them would join private armed forces and form small-scale mercenary organizations to serve some business owners and businessmen."

Jin Guoqiang pointed to the corpse on the ground: "These mercenaries have no war justice. They will serve them as long as someone pays them. Because they are brave and good at fighting, some mercenary organizations have also made a lot of fame internationally. One of the more famous mercenary armed forces is the "Gurkha Cavalry", whose logo is two scimitars and a skeleton tattoo."

Zi Yang nodded, "I understand. These Gurkhas look similar to those of Chinese, and have strong combat effectiveness. They can't find their identity information in China. If Professor Zhang wants to do something bad, it's best to hire these people."

Jin Guoqiang nodded and said, "These Gurkha cavalry often have several foreign languages ​​at the same time. It is difficult for you to find them even if you are face to face with ordinary people."

Su Rui suddenly said: "I heard that Professor Zhang organized a private armed force to find you. Could it be the Gurkha cavalry? Will they follow him to Qinhan Village?"

After she said this, Zi Yang also remembered that the bizarre wound on the black panther's legs might have been done by the Gurkha scimitar.

Jin Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "The chances of finding this place are very small. When I escaped, I left a few fake clues, making them think I was running towards the direction of Outer Mongolia in the north. In a short period of time, they should not find me running to the south. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Zi Yang asked nervously.

"Unless you lead them here!" Jin Guoqiang looked at the mountain peak in the distance and said worriedly.

"Have you followed us secretly? If the Gurkha cavalry followed us, you should have discovered them." Zi Yang said anxiously.

He remembered an old Chinese saying that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Considering their current subtle situation, if the oriole is followed by a Gurkha cavalry, then it would be too fucking...it would be too possible.

Jin Guoqiang sighed, "The Gurkha mercenaries have been fighting all over the world for many years and have rich combat experience. They are especially good at this kind of mountain and forest terrain. If they had planned it, I might not have found their traces."

"What should I do now?" Zi Yang lost his mind and looked around nervously. There were continuous mountains around him. In the jungle that covered the sky and the sun, I don't know how many dangers were hidden. In such an environment, it was too easy to lurk a special force.

"Your detection must be stopped. You can clean up and go back to the village to stay. I want to go out to reconnaise." There was a sense of order in Jin Guoqiang's tone, and his firm expression seemed to have restored his identity as the special forces captain.

"Can you do it alone? Do you want me to be with you, Lao Wang and Xiao Hei?" Zi Yang said worriedly.

"No, too many people are likely to expose the target, but I will act alone more hidden." Jin Guoqiang turned to Zi Yang and said, "The Gurkha cavalry is fierce in combat and cruel in methods. Before I confirm safety, you should stay in the village and not go out - this reconnaissance may take several days. Please help me take care of Wang Juan during this period."

"Okay, don't worry! If I'm here, I won't let others touch Wang Juan!" Zi Yang looked at Jin Guoqiang's resolute face, and suddenly felt a sense of tragic "The wind blew and the Yishui cold, and the heroes will never return once they left." If there were really Gurkha cavalry following him, then Jin Guoqiang, who was fighting alone, would risk his life in the deep mountains and forests.

At this time, Su Rui had already peeled off the nanocloth from another corpse. Sure enough, on the inside of the man's left arm, he had the same tattoo of the "Gurkha Cavalry".

"Su Rui, let's go back?" Zi Yang saw that the sky was getting darker, and he was a little worried about Xiao Hei and Xiaosha who were outside. He now regretted that he had let the two of them take risks in the mountains rashly.

"Wait a minute." Su Rui held his hand on the arm of the corpse, squatting there and lowering his head and pondering, "Captain, Zi Yang, can you give me a few minutes?"

"What are you going to do?" Zi Yang and Jin Guoqiang looked at each other.
