蔡金富一行人來到車棚,終於親眼目睹傳說中的「大輪車」!233Please respect copyright.PENANAXNNINyrveF
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfiaBZTqoWy
和日本人一樣,每個人無不被那高聳的車身,以及半個人高的大車輪所折服!他們興奮地圍了過來,前後左右、上下來回的打量好幾遍。233Please respect copyright.PENANAgPDdVcI3v5
233Please respect copyright.PENANAdjsCzJJYv8
同行友人賞車的同時,金富脫下西裝外套並掛在手上,再從腰間抽出一把白紙扇並搧了起來。233Please respect copyright.PENANApKby6uHDsA
233Please respect copyright.PENANAMZFAsJMiwm
「失禮了,天氣實在太熱,請多多包涵。」金富有點不好意思的說。233Please respect copyright.PENANAN9aKHGBNdS
233Please respect copyright.PENANAobUKk8XKnp
隨後,金富率先自介,說自己除了新民報記者的身份外,還是「臺灣農工協會」的理事,而身後這群朋友也都是「農工協會」的成員。他還說:「聽到台灣出現一批來自中國的神祕部隊,就盼著要找機會前來採訪;今日總算皇天不復苦心人,親眼所見,果然名不虛傳!」233Please respect copyright.PENANA1r95dFhdve
233Please respect copyright.PENANAiMqt3MEQBu
同行友人一一介紹過後,金富這才開始正式訪問。233Please respect copyright.PENANAFtXEhEpFVW
233Please respect copyright.PENANAYP7R42uQSd
「『何大人』,我沒聽過你們的口音,想請教你們是哪裡人?」金富客客氣氣地問道。233Please respect copyright.PENANABR3V68ggYR
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcsho2Mnzd7
一聽有人稱他「何大人」,小治不由自主地噗呲笑了出來,然後思索一下,回道:「聽我祖父說,好像是『江西-臨川』的樣子。」233Please respect copyright.PENANAIWDvIhBkEh
233Please respect copyright.PENANANgsyS0Yx76
「那麼,您隊上的士兵也都來自大陸嗎?」金富接著問。233Please respect copyright.PENANABl4CrBgrEP
233Please respect copyright.PENANAl0byotuzdd
小治:「呃,不是,我們全都是台灣人!」233Please respect copyright.PENANAmYLrof3PYZ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAVuXxkvjtra
金富略感疑惑,反問:「可您剛才不是說……江西,臨川?」233Please respect copyright.PENANAE7rBCO94Pi
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfEO74P6D8z
「喔,我以為你剛問的是祖籍!」小治發現自己會錯意了,尷尬的更正說:「其實我的戶籍地是『新北市-永和區』。」語畢,金富與身後友人交頭接耳,討論「新北市、永和區」在哪裡?有誰聽說過?233Please respect copyright.PENANA3iTGSGCZG4
233Please respect copyright.PENANAVamxLNddvF
接著,金富與小治又一陣雞同鴨講後,仍理解不了「新北市-永和區」的具體位置,只好暫時擱置,改問其他成員來自哪裡。233Please respect copyright.PENANAZCi9sS3zCA
233Please respect copyright.PENANAaSYTCQD7Mx
弘爺-麻豆、阿偉-關廟、浩克-二林、俊泰-旗山、羅排-美濃、彬哥-吉安……等等,一路問下來,金富都聽懵了!記者資歷不算淺的他,未曾有過如此艱澀的訪談。233Please respect copyright.PENANAAbN3NrMskA
233Please respect copyright.PENANA6hmSglTbb9
由於許多地方在這個時代不叫那個名,一時間難以掌握確切地點,於是金富不置可否的再確認一遍:「你們真的都是台灣人?」233Please respect copyright.PENANAJu5HPn8bB8
233Please respect copyright.PENANApsUsZNqs15
「呃,也不全是,我是『新加坡』人。」查理澄清道。233Please respect copyright.PENANAVzohvN2yfJ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAo3N5fNnTeC
聽到「新加坡」,金富又轉回去交頭接耳,討論「新加坡」究竟在哪裡?233Please respect copyright.PENANAcaYuAeOKuJ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfRae9zTcqU
查理聽出他們的困惑,於是再補充道:「就是『昭南島』。」金富他們這才明白,原來查理來自南洋!233Please respect copyright.PENANAhLYatlM7pO
233Please respect copyright.PENANAN4lF48CVSa
聊完成員,接著聊車。233Please respect copyright.PENANAwWqrD28Wm5
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7smbrrajAq
金富:「請問後面那兩輛「大輪車」又是來自哪個國家的技術?」233Please respect copyright.PENANAwDsrprv4Y4
233Please respect copyright.PENANA3UEPAbsrkR
小治:「不是國外採購,是國造!」說完,看到金富沒聽懂,再補充說:「就是台灣人自己造的車!」233Please respect copyright.PENANAAtQgXGjyQQ
233Please respect copyright.PENANARoMp797SLI
此話一出,金富一行人不約而同地瞪大雙眼看向雲豹,人人臉上掛著一副難以置信的表情!233Please respect copyright.PENANADLX3RMXmDa
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7FfcQIW7et
「不可能,這絕對不可能!」一名二十初頭歲的男子從雲豹後方走了出來;他國語說得比金富稍差,但勉強還能聽得懂。233Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ3wofnQou
233Please respect copyright.PENANArBHcAgV7rj
「我剛才仔細看過,這種車的懸吊......怕是連日本人也做不出來,絕不會是台灣人做的!」他斬釘截鐵的說。233Please respect copyright.PENANACXq8KvMJmg
233Please respect copyright.PENANAgbULJNnCrW
「他叫『阿貴』,『蔡金貴』,是敝人的弟弟。」金富介紹道。233Please respect copyright.PENANA4sVadnQ4Qj
233Please respect copyright.PENANAU2vS0Ynuym
弘爺看這年輕人有點內行,於是好奇問道:「這位朋友好像對汽車有點研究!」233Please respect copyright.PENANAVLGkqdhu3z
233Please respect copyright.PENANAmbOm6ZTG76
阿貴:「研究不敢說,我在『鐵道部』工作,對機械方面有些了解。」233Please respect copyright.PENANAP3vuC6ppZM
233Please respect copyright.PENANAeBOMzjYHfT
「喔,原來如此。」接著,弘爺再針對他的質疑,回應道:「這車確實不全是台灣自製,像引擎就是從美國引進。」233Please respect copyright.PENANAk4lORFyibg
233Please respect copyright.PENANAujdxA2vPVN
「原來是美國,我還以為是蘇聯的車子。」金富有些失望,語帶感慨的問:「這麼說......你們不是『八路軍』的『敵後縱隊』嘍?」233Please respect copyright.PENANAJwFtgE461z
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOvIOVsdgwc
聽到金富這麼一說,反倒讓小治哭笑不得!反問:「蛤,怎麼……我們看起來像共產黨嗎?」233Please respect copyright.PENANAdrFWrQGDrA
233Please respect copyright.PENANAwkpHFX0z95
金富解釋:「我看你們裡頭有男有女,不像正規軍該有的編制,才想說你們會不會是敵後縱隊!」233Please respect copyright.PENANA9QiglE7K1M
233Please respect copyright.PENANA2WGvUuaOLR
小治:「這個嘛,我們的情況比你想像中的還複雜,甚至還超出在場所有人的認知;總之吧,我們是國軍不假,但絕不是共產黨!」233Please respect copyright.PENANAjUlMBGBjid
233Please respect copyright.PENANA3wZfcpcX1W
得知大輪車一行人的來路後,金富也很快結束訪問,與同行友人一起離開了。233Please respect copyright.PENANAU0FTm9Ug3l
233Please respect copyright.PENANATGfXjg4WMU
此後,類似蔡金富這樣的記者、鄉紳或社團等等,絡繹不絕的前來兵營拜訪!233Please respect copyright.PENANAoxThX6QKFd
233Please respect copyright.PENANAhz2irRXLTA
剛開始日本衛兵還會阻攔,過濾一下訪客,但來多了,門禁就漸漸鬆散;沒過多久,只要說來找「大輪車」,衛兵們都會放行。233Please respect copyright.PENANACg6UfPZOaW
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfBuwmyDgK2
頭幾天還堪應付,反正閒來無事,當作打發時間;只是同樣的問題回答多了,也逐漸令人感到疲乏。233Please respect copyright.PENANAnWNJeRwEzx
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqkI1Sj5NJx
「我看……這些來找我們的人都只是出於好奇,沒有一個對我們有幫助呀!」小治對查理發牢騷的說。233Please respect copyright.PENANAKxt1CRKUN7
233Please respect copyright.PENANA864G38tDVx
查理:「好像也是!而且報紙刊登我們的報導後,知名度大增,確實還挺讓人困擾。」此時的他,也覺得自己玩大了,感到有些後悔。233Please respect copyright.PENANAXMpxHSlnwg
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOA3vTx8D1E
但不管如何,與這時代的人交流,多少能對當前的社會局勢與氛圍有所掌握,這也是查理以前從事情報工作積累來的經驗;對他來說,與人交流,也是情報蒐集的基本功。233Please respect copyright.PENANAOADy6IFvUj
233Please respect copyright.PENANA9o8EM6GXtU
查理還發現,這幾天來拜訪的人群中,裡頭似乎有混雜情報人員!在與他們的對話過程中不難發現,許多話題都圍繞在幾個關鍵點上,他不禁懷疑這些人可能有受過訓練或者收到什麼指令!233Please respect copyright.PENANAvyCEs1nbMQ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGNCuVgEpJi
「但願是我多慮了。」查理嘴裡嘀咕著。233Please respect copyright.PENANAFoE3N9OjsM
233Please respect copyright.PENANA4yUfb52jwG
馬場町兵營,裡外只用一道約兩米高的柵欄隔開,而停放雲豹的車棚離柵欄只有十來步的距離,所以外頭經常有好奇群眾徘徊、佇留,他們都是想目睹「大輪車」風采的群眾。233Please respect copyright.PENANASHu88zf47b
233Please respect copyright.PENANATpF8M6GdRB
幾天過去,就連小玲也開始抱怨,覺得自己好像關在動物園裡,很不自在!233Please respect copyright.PENANAIW9z7mDPVD
233Please respect copyright.PENANA72z5LSsLon
一週後,一隊日本兵來到兵營,捧著四盒白色棉布包裹的木匣子交給小治,那是潘少尉和另外三名營部連駕駛兵的骨灰。233Please respect copyright.PENANAJS8IG1kPci
233Please respect copyright.PENANAmLxkRbAgk6
稍晚,他們在營舍西南角搭了一座簡易靈堂,擺好香燭後,小治率全體倖存隊員,簡單隆重的祭奠一番。
