The Battle of Jangsari (2019)

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:

Lt. Lee Myung-joon (Kim Myung-min) pulls his captured TT-33 pistol out and takes aim. He adopts a low, double-handed grip, which is odd for the time period as soldiers are usually trained to fire sidearms one-handed.
