This article introduces the construction of the Takao fortress, including the deployment of barbettes, and the facilities and equipment arrangement, from 1937-1945. At the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Takao fortress was constructed in 1937 with the purpose for the reinforcement of military forces in Taiwan under the Japanese colonial period. In line with the development of the war, the construction of Takao fortress was changed to respond the needs of the garrison in 1943. The focus of defense shifted from the sea to the land. Precincts of Takao fortress ranged widely from north to Taichú and south to Hengchun. After World War II, the Nationalist Government asked the army to take over the Takao fortress, and to conduct investigations and inventories on facilities and equipment which later transferred to the Taiwan Garrison General Headquarters. On 1st, June 1946, Headquarters of the Takao Fortress was established.
