It is a military facility site located in the Shuinan Economic and Trade Park (the original Shuinan Airport) in Beitun District, Taichung City. It is a testimony of Taiwan’s participation in World War II during the Japanese Occupation Period. It is also one of the few remaining historical buildings in the original Shuinan Airport. In the 1940s, the Japanese army built the machine gun bunker at the Taichung Airfield for defensive purposes. Its firepower net can suppress the open plains along the east side of the flight field. The main body is a conical structure made of steel and concrete. The diameter of the base is about 10 meters and the height is about 6 to 9 meters. 是一座位於臺中市北屯區水湳經貿園區（原水湳機場）的軍事設施遺址，是臺灣日治時期參與第二次世界大戰之見證，亦是原水湳機場少數存留的歷史建物。1940年代，日軍為守備之需而於臺中飛行場興建該機槍掩體。其火力網可壓制飛行場東側一帶平原開闊地區。其主體為由鋼筋及混凝土構成之圓錐型結構體，底座直徑約10公尺，高約6至9公尺。
