On March 13, 1945, the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) launched an attack on these targets. According to The History of the 321st Bombardment Squadron, 19th Bombardment Group, “six B-24s of this squadron participated in a group strike in an attempt to knock out power plant No. 1 at Jitsugetsu Lake, Formosa. 48 x 1000 pound bombs were dropped, but heavy cloud cover prevented synchronization on the target and the bombs fell along the shore on the north side of the lake with no damage seen.”
美國陸軍航空隊的飛機在1945年3月13日對日月潭的發電設施進行轟炸，根據第19轟炸大隊第321轟炸中隊的隊史記載，第321中隊派出了6架B-24轟炸機，協同其他單位的飛機對日月潭第一發電所發動攻擊，但由於雲層遮掩，以致無法順利向目標投彈，炸彈都落到了日月潭的北岸。
Ten days later, USAAF bombers launched another strike on Jitsugetsu hydro-electric facilities. The attack was recorded on photographs, which were made available by the Academia Sinica. One of the photos shows the B-24 bombers participating in the bombing raid:

The following photograph captured the serial number of a B-24 in the attack. As per the website Red Raiders, Consolidated B-24M s/n 44-41851 was assigned to the 19th Bombardment Squadron, 22nd Bombardment Group, based on Luzon at the time of the strike.
以下照片拍到了其中一架B-24的序號。根據Red Raiders這個網站，序號44-41851的B-24M隸屬於第22轟炸大隊第19轟炸中隊，這個單位在攻擊行動前不久才移防到菲律賓的呂宋島。
