The Internet refers to the original historical feats of this mound (the amount of bombs dropped on this mound is more than 823): In order to enhance the safety of Jeranj, the Dutch were in the highlands southwest of Jeranj in 1639, which is currently A bunker was built on the grounds of Anping No. 1 Cemetery, called Fort Utrecht (Fort Utrecht). It sits on a small hill and defends the city of Zhelanzhe with a commanding attitude. Although Utrecht Fort is small in size, its location is very important. Zheng Chenggong attacked the city of Relanzhe, and the siege of the city failed for 9 months. A Dutch deserter offered advice to Zheng Chenggong, suggesting to attack Utrecht Fort, and the Dutch defense line could be broken by taking Utrecht Fort. January 25, 1662, was the most tragic and critical battle between Zheng and He. Zheng Chenggong's army built three forts near Utrecht Fort and erected 28 cannons from the north, east, and south. Shelling, 2500 shells were fired in one day, almost razing the bunker to the ground. The Dutch defenders were forced to abandon their defenses and retreat, but the last trap was left. The Dutch defenders detonated the delayed fuze a few hours later, killing more than 50 soldiers of the Zheng army and reporting revenge. After the explosion, the bunker was completely destroyed. . After the battle, the morale of the garrison in Geranzio completely collapsed. Soon, on February 1st Zheng He signed a peace treaty. On February 17th, the Dutch took away their relatives and property and left Taiwan forever. The highland where Utrecht Fort is located is called Tangspoon Mountain by the Anping people. It is currently a cemetery. Because it is already full, the burial is announced and the bunkers are nowhere to be found.

I was wondering if I, a foreigner, would comment on the grave where Taiwanese ancestors sleep, but the scenery I saw when I passed by was so powerful that I took a picture. .. After returning home, I found that 12 people who were drafted by the former Japanese army during the Sino-Japanese War and died for the first time were also sleeping, which made me feel the connection between Taiwan and Japan again. We would like to express our mourning and pray for the continuation of peace (May 2022).
