Assembly
Assembly (Chinese Title: Ji jie hao) is a 2007 war film directed by Xiaogeng Feng that tells the story of Gu Zidi (Hanyu Zhang), a Communist soldier who fought to gain recognition for his comrades after his unit was annihilated in a battle during the 1948 Huaihai Campaign of the Chinese Civil War.
The following weapons are featured in the 2007 war film Assembly:
Note: Captures coming soon!
Pistols
Colt Model 1903 Hammerless
A surrendering Nationalist (KMT) soldier holds up a Colt Model 1903 Hammerless pistol.
Submachine Guns
Sten Mk. II
The Sten Mk. II submachine gun is carried by Captain Gu Zidi's first political officer (Quan Ren) during the first battle in the film. After the officer is killed, the Sten is given to his replacement Wang Jincun (Wenkang Yuan). Though not a common weapon, the Sten gun was used by Nationalist and Communist forces throughout World War II and the latter stages of the Chinese Civil War.
PPS-43
Communist and Nationalist forces both use the PPS-43 submachine gun.
M1A1 Thompson Submachine Gun
M1A1 Thompson submachine guns are used by Nationalist forces when they attack Captain Zidi's company at an abandoned coal mine on the Wen River, mostly with 20 round magazines. Thompson submachine guns were common among KMT units due to U.S Lend-Lease assistance during World War II.
PPSH-41
A PPSH-41 submachine gun is seen hanging from a pillar in a command post, during a scene depicting Zidi's service during the Korean War.
Rifle
Type Zhongzheng Rifle (Mauser Kar 98K)
Most of the Communist and Nationalist soldiers, including Captain Gu, carry Type Zhongzheng (or Chiang Kai Shek) rifles during the scenes set in the Chinese Civil War.
Johnson M1941 Rifle
Jiang Maocai (Baoqiang Wang), the company's sniper, carries a semi-automatic M1941 Johnson Rifle that he uses to great effect against Nationalist soldiers throughout the movie. An enemy sniper that shoots at Sergeant Luo Guangtian (Heng Fu) also uses a M1941 Johnson with a telescopic sight. The M1941 Johnson rifle is a relatively rare weapon that was used by the United States Marine Corps during the early years of World War II, with Chinese examples likely coming from Lend-Lease programs; though regarded as an accurate weapon, there are no actual accounts of them being used as sniper rifles in combat.
M1903 Springfield
M1903 Springfield rifles are used by Nationalist soldiers during the battle at the mine in the Chinese Civil War, and later by Chinese scouts disguised as South Korean soldiers during the Korean War.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine is carried by Gu Zidi when he participates in a scout mission during the Korean War, as part of his disguise as a South Korean soldier.
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I
The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I is seen in a scene when Gu returns to China after his military service ends, when People's Liberation Army soldiers are decommissioning old weapons. When asked about the identity of the rifle, Gu calls it a "British 77", referring to the Lee-Enfield's .303 caliber ammunition.
Mosin-Nagant M1891
Mosin-Nagant M1891 are used by a PLA Honor guard at the end of the film.
Machine Guns
ZB-26
Czech-designed ZB-26 machine guns are used by both the Communist and Nationalist forces during the battles in the town and at the mine, most notably by Lu Kuangnou (Naiwei Li).
Browning M1919A4
Nationalist troops use Browning M1919 machine guns during the battle in the town, pinning down the attacking Communist forces until Jiang is able to shoot the defenders.
Type 24 Heavy Machine Gun (Maxim MG 08)
Two Type 24 heavy machine guns, Chinese-built copies of the famous Maxim MG 08, are used by Gu's company as part of their defenses at the abandoned mine.
