Have you tried something yourself or perhaps searched the forum for similar topics ?

Are those files present in the directory already compressed or you want to create single compressed archive ?
Looks like they are compressed upfront, but can you confirm.

You need the literally impossible. gzip does not work that way.

You will have to compromise and use something else. Is tar available on your system?

As you didn't mention the OS you're under, this is the man gzip of RedHat.
