力戰、避戰,兩派分歧僵持不下,最終不歡而散!179Please respect copyright.PENANAJKUCUFaL3l
179Please respect copyright.PENANAWZiBGHroeB
廟公找一郎說句公道話。他認為避戰派的意見不無道理,畢竟兵者凶也,子彈不長眼。他還說:「兩軍相戰打起來,樓仔厝『損蕩』(毀壞)閣算小事,若萬不離閣再傷及無辜的鄉親,你有幾條命也嘸夠賠!」179Please respect copyright.PENANArkyf1AV5za
179Please respect copyright.PENANAqzE2Rl2sFG
廟公試圖遊說一郎,把戰場移至郊區。一來,鄰里間可避免戰禍;二來,也能成全敢死隊求戰的決心。179Please respect copyright.PENANAgCBZm8usuL
179Please respect copyright.PENANA7FzKUDwUC9
一郎是明白人,自然聽得出廟公話理的潛台詞;他表面中立,但心底其實傾向避戰!179Please respect copyright.PENANAzc6Xqf51GG
179Please respect copyright.PENANARo9YRMnrv5
雖說廟公所言在理,可野戰對敢死隊來說,幾乎毫無勝算,等於白送軍隊一次勝利!與其犧牲自己長敵人士氣,不如破釜沉舟來一回巷戰,尚能拼死一搏!179Please respect copyright.PENANArcV3HDGWDX
179Please respect copyright.PENANAmkgzYnziAf
一郎深知自己兵力有限,守不了整個庄,於是向廟公提出請求,希望能借他的保安宮作為據點,讓敢死隊據守其中!如此一來,也能避免戰事殃及民宅。179Please respect copyright.PENANA4oECRY60NE
179Please respect copyright.PENANARjYif1imnh
廟公聽完當場傻眼,呆若木雞、良久無語!他懊悔不該多嘴,把火引到自己身上!179Please respect copyright.PENANAAjvRS9tNPi
179Please respect copyright.PENANAKkWwx40Tpq
當廟公還在琢磨著,該用什麼理由拒絕時,一郎端起步槍,拉了一下槍機,作勢清槍。179Please respect copyright.PENANARZqaCkLsJ9
179Please respect copyright.PENANAU5ip5r4cb4
廟公畢竟曾在道上混過,馬上讀懂一郎的暗示。心想:他這哪裡是借!179Please respect copyright.PENANAkW0yftq3ll
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQRJX1GQCMv
一郎現在有人有槍,話語權掌握在他手上,借廟不過是客氣的知會一聲!179Please respect copyright.PENANAok3RMLxf2d
179Please respect copyright.PENANAONodczZAqz
但廟公仍存有私心,摸了摸鼻子,說:「嘸你先去擲茭,呷保生大帝請示旨意。你若是擲有三個聖茭,我這間廟就給恁拿去打!」廟公打算賭一回,寄望無形的力量能幫他保住宮廟。179Please respect copyright.PENANAuo6QilGcbh
179Please respect copyright.PENANAzsxg8cfG7Z
一郎起身,先循禮參拜完畢後,再回到供桌前。他雙膝跪地,畢恭畢敬地向保生大帝請示,結果一連擲出三個聖茭!廟公這才心甘情願地把廟借給他。179Please respect copyright.PENANA3hRpNmVlik
179Please respect copyright.PENANAvbfkFUu5sH
翌日,一大早,敢死隊與大輪車的人開始構築保安宮的防禦工事;每道門、每扇窗,都疊起沙包、木板;周邊街道還架起竹矛、柵欄,以為路障、拒馬!179Please respect copyright.PENANATEVL4LZVf1
179Please respect copyright.PENANAXS01oqXnDu
許多支持他們的鄰里鄉親也動員前來協助工程,甚至還有不少人捐糧、捐水、捐藥、捐被毯等物資,為可能陷入的持久戰做準備!179Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8yvCl4gUI
179Please respect copyright.PENANAh0eJQCDhFk
廟公領著萬猴與他的小弟們,連忙把神像請出,移駕至鄰庄宮廟,暫時安置。179Please respect copyright.PENANA9S0GWUyDUG
179Please respect copyright.PENANAzuleZdOAKN
一郎架起爬梯,偕小治、查理與弘爺,四人先後爬上宮廟的屋頂,蹲坐在橘紅色屋瓦上俯視整個南庄。179Please respect copyright.PENANACGKUOUXDDq
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQwoGNjwa48
保安宮坐北朝南,是全庄的制高點,視野良好,可遠眺整個江仔嘴!用望遠鏡還能看見更遠一點的「鐵路橋」(新店溪橋)與「光復橋」(舊稱「昭和橋」),這也是為何一郎要向廟公借保安宮據守的主要原因。179Please respect copyright.PENANAQJs0VPRxXS
179Please respect copyright.PENANApbh5ih7YGI
另一個次要原因,是保安宮位於南庄中央,四周民宅林立,不利軍隊動用重炮與飛機轟炸,可挾民宅以增防守優勢!這也是一郎拒絕野戰,堅持巷戰的重點考量。179Please respect copyright.PENANAOsw2GwFhJ4
179Please respect copyright.PENANAstbf5dLhsy
「彼邊恐怕是戰況尚激烈的所在!」一郎指向廟口菜市說。179Please respect copyright.PENANAI9fZlR3gHx
179Please respect copyright.PENANA2yBFDeVlBb
由於西、北、東三面皆是鄰里巷弄,不利攻擊方排兵佈陣、施展火力,唯南面廟口菜市的開闊地有利大部隊正面展開!所以他在南面東西兩翼,各挑一棟三角窗的街屋佈置據點,設置機槍,與保安宮呈三點犄角之勢,交叉火網,相互支援。179Please respect copyright.PENANAzP9kdFvCsz
179Please respect copyright.PENANAW7XHV4C65S
正當一郎自信滿滿的介紹完防線佈局後,突然話鋒一轉,語重心長的問:「恁的大輪車若是袂堪作戰,敢會使沈入溪中,莫給外省仔拿去禍害別人!」他知道大輪車沒剩多少彈藥,戰力有限,且此役必敗,擔心戰後會落入軍隊手中!179Please respect copyright.PENANAwV1Ref1MKD
179Please respect copyright.PENANAAqsQ61Btpc
小治、查理是沒什麼意見,但弘爺卻強烈反對!因為雲豹可是他的寶貝,過去一年來,日復一日,夙夜匪懈的保養維護,豈容說沉就沉!179Please respect copyright.PENANAk1YYI5bfl7
179Please respect copyright.PENANAiTVflnDpHr
弘爺表示:「憲兵隊還閣有一台大輪車,若是軍隊找到方法將車修理好適,安呢咱台灣人手頭會使拿出來對抗的車,就剩這台了;所以絕對袂使沉入溪中,而且還閣要想辦法保護著!」語畢,一郎嘆了口氣,臉一沉,看著弘爺半晌無語。179Please respect copyright.PENANAwFtgmBaVE8
179Please respect copyright.PENANAzH512fINk5
一郎認為弘爺所言也不是沒有道理,最後只好將此事暫時擱置;因為眼下還有其他工作要忙活,雲豹的去留問題,只好等稍晚再議了。179Please respect copyright.PENANAykFJlLhZeN
179Please respect copyright.PENANAU3wG9DYVZE
楊站、燈子返回台灣站,發現站樓被另一群台灣站幹員攻佔!他們還把凌亂不堪的站樓,大略整理一遍。當楊站一看到響馬出現,這才知道他們是老瓦南部分站的人!179Please respect copyright.PENANAi9j5AyKQmG
179Please respect copyright.PENANA6U1JsyKzBT
響馬:「『瓦爺』失蹤多日,我們群龍無首,不知該如何是好,想說來投靠『神爺』您;卻沒想到這裡竟然放空城,還遭暴民洗劫!」他們好不容易將滯留站裡的民眾驅離,重新奪回控制權。這才剛掄起手來收拾善後不久,楊站就回來了。179Please respect copyright.PENANAiVzg7rHmTs
179Please respect copyright.PENANAEtauuUw0Wk
得見響馬一行人到來,令楊站大喜過望!恰如久旱逢甘霖,一波及時雨緩解了他的燃眉之急!179Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Z3XCvQww
179Please respect copyright.PENANA5hYMZuonWC
再清點一遍人數,一共十四員,合著還有三輛黑頭車與一輛卡車!他們不但訓練有素,還自備槍彈;與臨時組建的忠義服務隊相比,雙方素質簡直天差地別!179Please respect copyright.PENANATRshfGdfac
179Please respect copyright.PENANAe0vvykeXYf
收編了老瓦的南部幹員後,楊站士氣大振!他開始琢磨著:該如何反攻江仔嘴,奪回大輪車以報一箭之仇!179Please respect copyright.PENANAcGbqX6ViBs
179Please respect copyright.PENANAR29vKdfO6p
何奈楊站手上,沒兵沒權,只見他來回踱步,苦惱不已。179Please respect copyright.PENANAKCqY7GdALh
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwJbyfL3UYm
燈子見楊站一籌莫展,於是提了個餿主意。他怯聲提議:「不如......咱們偽造軍令!」179Please respect copyright.PENANAyulf1RCx5X
179Please respect copyright.PENANA8KLnWIbzJL
「混帳東西!」楊站立刻破口大罵:「偽照文書都能讓你牢底坐穿,何況是偽照軍令!你不想活命,我還想活!」179Please respect copyright.PENANASyXPxYdh4G
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgeRWSNuwHb
燈子也是萬般無奈,才會出此下策!還勸道:「大丈夫欲成大事,就該不拘小節;何況現在外頭都亂成一鍋粥了,誰還管得著那些繁文縟節!」179Please respect copyright.PENANA7mBzEl6zVL
179Please respect copyright.PENANAfCETbz8F7A
楊站聽他這麼一說,也覺得有些道理。於是問:「那……這事你可有把握?」179Please respect copyright.PENANA4wfhwwKsYW
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgD60clFbN8
燈子拍著胸脯,再三保證:「放心,這活兒我門兒清!」179Please respect copyright.PENANAoxBM3Jx36b
179Please respect copyright.PENANASgkVQN4viq
最後楊站同意燈子的提議,走一回險棋試試!179Please respect copyright.PENANAHj2DjEG1gY
179Please respect copyright.PENANA1KOygOzsah
隨後,燈子借了輛黑頭車開出去,也不知他究竟去了哪裡。等了半天,直到過15點才回來,此時手上還拿著一張幾可亂真,如假包換的「派兵令」!179Please respect copyright.PENANAd0ZQjEhBoF
179Please respect copyright.PENANAEdx735OIhR
「響兒!」楊站頻頻誇道:「瞧你這事辦得……天衣無縫啊!」179Please respect copyright.PENANANc8iIVWqQx
179Please respect copyright.PENANAqdPniOQ9mp
楊站取得兵令後,事不宜遲,趕緊點齊人馬,直奔憲兵隊去。179Please respect copyright.PENANAF7DPkcSDxC
179Please respect copyright.PENANAeeLdy3Fps3
出發時,響馬還不解的問:「神爺,您不派人留守,難道這衙門不要了?」179Please respect copyright.PENANA442oGpWmDh
179Please respect copyright.PENANAKsEGqs2Aj5
楊站:「呿,鐵打的衙門、流水的官,不就是棟遮風避雨的殼子,有啥好希罕的,沒了就沒了!」他還引用燈子的話,說:「大丈夫欲成大事,就該不拘小節!」
