第二次世界大戰末期，美軍挾帶著強大的軍事優勢，在太平洋戰場上已 令日軍難以反制，加之美軍潛艦在海上的攔截，大型水面艦艇多已無法出海 作戰。為此，日軍乃設計出一批用以執行特攻作戰的武器，試圖將剩餘資源 做最大的利用，「震洋」艇即是當時的特攻武器之一，亦於臺灣進行部署。 受訪者陳金村先生，是1945年1月入伍的第五期臺灣海軍特別志願兵，在左 營受訓結束後，被派至駐紮於高雄壽山的第二十一震洋隊，負責震洋艇的後 勤保養與維修工作。陳金村先生以臺灣人成員身份，重述其在震洋隊中的親 身經歷，係至為重要的口述史料，透過其口說，得以更具體瞭解基地環境、 震洋艇保養維修與震洋隊的訓練過程，呈現戰爭末期日軍特攻部隊實態與臺 籍士兵被賦予的任務，補充既有文字研究成果之不足。

In the closing stage of the World War II, Japanese military had no ability to counterattack in the Pacific theater because of the U.S. powerful military superiority. Japanese gigantic warships were unable to fight owing to the interception of the U.S. submarines. In response to this unfavorable process of the war, Japanese military designed a quantity of weapons for special attack, trying to make the best use of the remaining resources. Shinyo motorboat was one of the special attack weapons, which was also deployed in Taiwan. The interviewee, Chen Jin Cun, the navy special Taiwanese volunteer of the fifth period enlisted in January 1945, after finishing training in Zuoying, was sent to the 21st Shinyo unit in Shou Shan in Kaohsiung, responsible for maintaining Shinyo motorboats. As a Taiwanese member of Shinyo unit, Chen Jin Cun recounted his personal experience in Shinyo unit, which is a very important oral historical material. Through the interview, we could understand more concretely about the base environment, the maintainance of Shinyo motorboats and also the training process of Shinyo units. The real situation of Japanese military special attack unit and Taiwanese volunteers’ missions towards the end of the WWII were uncovered, adding more information to the existing literal research results.
