Former Imperial Japanese Army Taichung Airfield Machine Gun Nest Introduction
This facility was built by the Japanese military in 1940 in response to the armed preparedness of the former Taichung Airfield (now Shuinan Airport). The firepower network can suppress the open plains on the eastern side of the airfield and is classified as a machine gun shelter, commonly referred to as a "machine gun fortress." Its exterior is a conical concrete structure, with a base diameter of approximately 10 meters, a height of about 6 to 9 meters, and multiple rectangular windows in the walls. The article is excerpted from the Taichung City Cultural Assets Department.
