力戰、避戰,兩派分歧僵持不下,最終不歡而散!158Please respect copyright.PENANAcAZq1D0CWG
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbDnLIop3Ig
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!」158Please respect copyright.PENANAhuW8jHal8X
158Please respect copyright.PENANARkxiZmMeoF
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANA1UscUJlZEu
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEbmP1XsmwQ
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAtmjCR6J90J
158Please respect copyright.PENANAROvZRKp1dQ
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAI6g7wLaF0A
158Please respect copyright.PENANA10YioY3sZF
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANARbSWpQNIBD
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJDD08ZHFY2
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAcBVFu1MzFj
158Please respect copyright.PENANAebOcvgmxi5
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANANMmhlRPjt7
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9KtY4WoY7c
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAoOkFcO6Oix
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQ23IxlHhU2
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANA5CTO5VMUPm
158Please respect copyright.PENANAaK8JBBgin4
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAiYRWfc2Htl
158Please respect copyright.PENANADCQEehUorR
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAv07LICZPWL
158Please respect copyright.PENANAdO9XVzxmfN
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAxn121r4x70
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7LZ2rl8KHJ
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANArZTkCYBJo8
158Please respect copyright.PENANAzTfqkmQrWM
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAJYuftNXkZx
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZIWGruIuhZ
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAfhhxnoOHx2
158Please respect copyright.PENANAE095TbkGty
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAp47IpK3x3M
158Please respect copyright.PENANAI0rzRMtwfX
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANATU34qF2Q41
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMurpdwU4Ju
「彼邊恐怕是戰況尚激烈的所在!」一郎指向廟口菜市說。158Please respect copyright.PENANABvFZROMPwR
158Please respect copyright.PENANADo5JVd6wl7
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAT15ftmx9il
158Please respect copyright.PENANAGdGilsQJse
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANA45twfLFsCP
158Please respect copyright.PENANABXS6cyhGtt
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAS7F3X77vvX
158Please respect copyright.PENANAuvZ72zUcJn
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAvc22G5qTNj
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9OjvBEMvcg
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAL2sdzqhldk

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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAhRpIo343m4
158Please respect copyright.PENANApTZARLQLGI
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAGImX7ehGiF
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhdHdxfduoU
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAF8i1Oat3IU
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2DwhR1wt5X
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAFQxcGD93ng
158Please respect copyright.PENANAkqBBby3LNE
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!158Please respect copyright.PENANAAwRrWqJDGP
158Please respect copyright.PENANAppO81mNwjZ
何奈楊站手上,沒兵沒權,只見他來回踱步,苦惱不已。158Please respect copyright.PENANAGowdx8Jrmf
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1Two0Dy1xg
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!」158Please respect copyright.PENANATvflM6Ejtj
158Please respect copyright.PENANAwc1sjBnagk
「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!」158Please respect copyright.PENANA4izPGxdpIv
158Please respect copyright.PENANAld5GwW3fCE
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!」158Please respect copyright.PENANAJzB2RzWggA
158Please respect copyright.PENANA233MHmoC7N
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?」158Please respect copyright.PENANAITMz4XzlNM
158Please respect copyright.PENANAwXz2ueT58B
燈子拍著胸脯,再三保證:「放心,這活兒我門兒清!」158Please respect copyright.PENANAI3p0kNDM5r
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJS0tCEZPwk
最後楊站同意燈子的提議,走一回險棋試試!158Please respect copyright.PENANATwXZ7baFuJ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWbomA4AdGY
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」!158Please respect copyright.PENANAWx898VB0Gu
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtiCIUK3zpi
「響兒!」楊站頻頻誇道:「瞧你這事辦得……天衣無縫啊!」158Please respect copyright.PENANAtcOnQToRcq
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXcbvc5La1L
楊站取得兵令後,事不宜遲,趕緊點齊人馬,直奔憲兵隊去。158Please respect copyright.PENANAIApb5wVtpE
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWUe35Av0sd
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?」158Please respect copyright.PENANAmSbFXRwwpN
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJN5PhPendr
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!」
