The Battle of Jangsari: Difference between revisions
The Battle of Jangsari (also known as Jangsari: Forgotten Heroes) is a 2019 South Korean action war film directed by Kwak Kyung-taek and Kim Tae-hoon. The film is the second installment of a trilogy of Korean War epics produced by Taewon Entertainment, the first being Operation Chromite (2016). The film tells the story of 772 student-soldiers and South Korean Army cadres deployed to the Jangsari coast as one of many diversionary assaults covering for the Incheon Landings. Meanwhile, an American reporter named Maggie (Megan Fox) comes across information of the impossible mission being undertaken by the students and determines to help them in any way she can.
The following weapons were used in the film The Battle of Jangsari:
Several US Marines and South Korean officers carry Colt M1911A1 pistols in their holsters.
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 is seen as the standard sidearm of KPA officers. NCOs of the ROK Army are seen using captured TT-33s when disguised as KPA officers.
Submachine Guns
M3 Grease Gun
ROK Army cadres and student-soldiers are seen using M3 Grease Guns.
PPSh-41
North Korean troops as well as South Korean student-soldiers are seen using PPSh-41 submachine guns.
PPS-43
North Korean troops are seen using PPS-43 submachine guns. South Korean troops use captured PPS-43s as well.
Rifles / Carbines
M1 Carbine
ROK NCOs are equipped with M1 Carbines at Jangsari. Several US Marines are also seen with slung M1 Carbines during a briefing in Busan.
M1 Garand
M1 Garands are seen in the hands of ROK Army cadres and student-soldiers.
Mosin Nagant M1891 / M38 Carbine
North Korean troops use Mosin Nagant M1891s as their standard rifle. Student-soldiers of the South Korean forces are also seen with these rifles, presumably being re-issued enemy firearms. Several Mosin Nagant M38 Carbines are also seen among both North and South Korean troops.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DP-28
KPA troops are seen using Degtyaryov DP-28 light machine guns. ROK troops and student-soldiers also use captured DP-28s when defending their positions at Jangsari.
Degtyaryov DT
Several North Korean T-34-85 tanks with mounted Degtyaryov DT machine guns make an appearance.
Maxim M1910/30
Several Maxim M1910/30 machine guns are seen mounted on defensive positions along the Jangsari coast.
Ryu Tae-seok (Kim In-kwon) uses a stick of dynamite coupled with a bundle of Mk 2 grenades as an improvised satchel charge of sorts.
M15 Anti-Tank Mine
An M15 anti-tank mine is discovered by the student-soldiers after an Allied bombing dislodges it from the top of a cliff, presumably planted by the North Korean forces first. They eventually recover it and later use it in an ambush.
S-Mine
Several S-Mines are seen planted all over the Jangsari beach by the North Korean forces. Oddly, they behave like contact mines, detonating almost immediately after being tripped with an upwards directional blast, which is not how the S-Mine normally operates.
M1 Mortar
South Korean troops are seen using M1 Mortars, first on the landing ship, later on the Jangsari beach during the defense.
