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