臺灣地區震洋特攻隊之研究
A Study on Japanese Special Attack Units Shinyo in Taiwan
摘要
太平洋戰爭末期，因人員、燃料的消耗殆盡，迫使日軍不得不以特攻作戰(自殺攻擊)的方式來延續戰爭，許多年輕士兵便以其血肉之軀為國效命，而震洋特攻隊也在這樣的歷史背景下發展起來。 本文試以臺灣地區震洋特攻隊的發展經過為研究核心，並就日本及其他亞洲地區之震洋特攻隊史料作延伸性探討。研究範圍分為時、空兩面向：依時間次序可將震洋特攻隊之發展分為醞釀期、發展期、成熟期、衰敗期；而所研究之地域則集中在臺灣地區，相關內容再輔以日本、香港、菲律賓、沖繩等地資料。 另方面，本文參考「亞細亞歷史資料中心」等機構所藏之圖面、文書紀錄，藉由分析與比對的方式，探討震洋特攻隊的編制、戰術訓練、基地設施與配置、施作工法等議題，以此建構出震洋特攻隊在太平洋戰爭史、軍事工程史中的獨特定位。最後，本文則透過對臺灣地區各震洋特攻隊基地遺址的實地考察與測量，驗證相關史料的正確性，同時也探討遺址的現況與變遷。而對戰爭參與者的口述訪談，亦補充了文獻中未曾記載之真實經歷。 看似絢麗的特攻作戰與其所帶來的效果是否在整場戰爭中扮演著關鍵性的角色？而戰爭與環境、戰爭與平凡人間的關係又是如何演繹？本文即試圖以震洋特攻隊的發展經過與其在臺灣地區的部署、基地配置等面向，探討此一特攻武器在大時代下所處的角色，同時也探討臺灣在這場戰爭中所遭逢的歷史機遇與定位。

In the closing stage of the Pacific War, depleted crews and fuels forced the Japanese army to continue the war by Special Attack Units (suicide attacks) so many young soldiers served their country with flesh and blood. Given to such a historical background, Japanese Special Attack Units Shinyo were developed. This study centers on the development of Special Attack Units Shinyo in Taiwan and extends the discussion on historical literature in Japan and other Asian regions. The research scope could be divided into two perspectives: time and space. In chronological order, the development of Special Attack Units Shinyo could be categorized into four periods: inception, growth, maturity and discontinuance. In research regions, Taiwan and the Penghu archipelago are the focus, related contents of which are supplemented by materials from Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Okinawa. On the other hand, referencing pictures and written records collected by institutes like Japan Center for Asian Historical Records, this study uses analysis and comparison to discuss the organization, strategic training, base facilities and deployment, and building craftsmanship of Special Attack Units Shinyo to achieve a unique position of Special Attack Units Shinyo in the histories of the Pacific War and military engineering. Lastly, this study verifies accuracy for related historical materials by field investigation on and measurement of the base ruins of Special Attack Units Shinyo in Taiwan and the Penghu archipelago. The current state and changes of the military ruins are meanwhile canvassed. Narrative interviews of participants in the war also supplement true experiences that were not recorded in literature. Could the seemingly splendid Special Attack Units and their sequent effects play a crucial role in the entire war? How is the relation of “war and the environment” and “war and a world of ordinary mortals” deduced? With the perspectives on the development of Special Attack Units, their deployment in Taiwan and the Penghu archipelago, and base deployment, this study tries to confer on the role that this Special Attack Units weapon played in that significant era and at the same time investigates Taiwan's historical circumstance and position in this war.
