On the night of the 31st, Xue Lin received a battle report from the front line in the temporary office of the military government.

The two regiments of the 2nd Brigade of the Armored Division did not find the Japanese troops after arriving at Antai at 1 p.m., and then asked the air force to reconnoiter everywhere and advance along the railway line, and after half an hour, the air force reported that the Japanese 10th Division was evacuating along the railway line in the direction of Jinzhou.

After consulting with Li Chun, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, Zhao Dezhi, decided to pursue along the railway line and asked the air force to follow and harass the Japanese army.

Finally, at three o'clock in the afternoon in Taojia Town to catch up with the Japanese troops, the two armies launched a fierce battle on the plain, under the assault of 18 BT-7 tanks and 36 infantry combat vehicles of the air force fighters and armored companies, successfully penetrated the Japanese defense line, the 10th Division broke and fled, the Zhenbei Army pursued along the railway, captured more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers, killed and wounded more than 3,000 people, the remnants of the Japanese army retreated into Jinzhou, and the offensive and defensive battle of Jinzhou began.

At noon on the same day, the main force of the "460" A Division assaulted Yingkou, and more than 1,000 people of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese garrison were routed and fled to Gaizhou.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the armored regiment broke through to Gaizhou along the South Manchurian Railway, and then due to the terrain, the second division assumed the main force of the attack, and after defeating the Japanese army in Gaizhou, the two divisions continued to advance towards Lushun along the South Manchurian Railway.

Finally at three o'clock in the afternoon, blocked with the tile house shop.

Faced with complex mountainous terrain, a chain of fortresses and a one-meter-and-five-wide trench dug by the Japanese army after absorbing the school training, the armored division was forced to break into pieces and operate in the plains, handing over the mountain battlefield to the second division.

The battle to recover the Liaodong Peninsula has officially begun!

After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the Zhenbei Army and the Japanese army suffered battle losses on both sides, and the Japanese army mainly relied on the defense line composed of Nanshan, Lidian Town, and Wafangdian to resist step by step.

The plain area has basically been occupied by the Zhenbei Army, and Changxing Island has also been recovered, but the battle of Wafangdian is not easy to fight, Nanshan and Wafangdian on both sides are in the mountains, and the railway line between the two mountains is to town, Lidian Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, if you want to break through the defense line built by the Japanese army, you must not go from Lidian Town in the middle, that is to let the soldiers die!

Therefore, the battle of Wafangdian lasted for an afternoon, and Mashan, who commanded the battle, fought until late in the evening before collecting troops and returning to the camp and began to defend against the night attack of the Japanese army.

When the battle report was transmitted back to Mukden, Xue Lin was talking with Li Du and others about the plan to rebuild the northeast at the brightly lit temporary military government station.

In the current situation, the Kwantung Army does not receive reinforcements from its base camp, and has no strength to go north, and even Lushun is in danger.

Xue Lin, who had 40,000 troops in his hands and two garrison divisions in the reorganization, had no scruples about the Japanese army, even if the Japanese army moved troops from Goryeo and the base camp, it was unable to counterattack the northeast hinterland, and could only start a tug-of-war with the Zhenbei Army on the Liaodong Peninsula and the coastal areas.

At this time, the reconstruction of the Northeast was put on the agenda.

At night, Mukden City is lit up with lights, whether oil lamps, electric lights, or primitive torches, lighting up the whole city.

Countless craftsmen were recruited to carry out the reconstruction work, the collapsed city walls had to be repaired, the bombed ruins of the city had to be cleared, and the refugees who had lost their homes had to be safed, and the people of the military government had begun to discuss whether to build a new mansion for Xue Dashuai or use the Zhang mansion.

One by one civil, political, and military Xue Lin, a boy who was less than twenty years old, lost several hairs that he had just grown.

"At present, the revenues of the three northeastern provinces cannot be collected for the time being due to the war, and they will go to the next quarter at the earliest, but with the fiscal revenues of 50 million yuan in 1930 and the trauma of the war, it is initially estimated that this year's fiscal revenues may be less than 30 million, or even lower.

The political secretary who was reporting to Xue Lin and Li Du was Zuo Yide, the former director of the Jilin Provincial Department of Finance who followed Li Du to Harbin.

Fortunately, although Xue Lin did not have talents in this area, all the National Salvation Army integrated into the Zhenbei Army system accepted Xue Lin's leadership, at least now Fengtian has been successfully operational, and government institutions in various places are gradually recovering.

"At present, our army has three main divisions, more than 46,000 people, an air force of 2,500 people (including ground personnel), a navy, and two garrison divisions are being formed, as well as urban defense units in various places, with a total strength of nearly 100,000 people, and the annual military expenditure is conservatively estimated to be about 10 million yuan. When Zuo Yide said this, the surrounding staff officers and officers cheered up.

Even Chen Zhen, who had a zombie face, couldn't help but look at Financial Secretary Zuo Yide.

There is no way, military spending! It occupies one-third of the budget at once, how can it not make them nervous.

And Xue Lin trembled even more in his heart, it really costs money to raise soldiers in the secret way!

This figure was calculated by Zuo Yide according to the 1930 budget of the Feng warlords, and the fiscal revenue of the entire three eastern provinces was only about 50 million yuan the year before last, of which the largest expenditure was military expenditure, 200,000 Northeast Army and local garrison troops, etc.

, and the annual military expenditure was about 24 million, accounting for half of the financial revenue, and the expansion of the Fengtian Arsenal, especially the 240-mm heavy artillery production line, spent more than 10 million, and the annual education economy was 5 million, and the Northeastern University occupied nearly 2 million, which is not counting the civil affairs expenditure of the local finance, Zhang Shaoshuai estimated that 20 million yuan was advanced.........

Now Xue Lin wants to restart the Fengtian Arsenal, let alone 5 million a year, and 10 million will be allocated for the post-war reconstruction work in various places.

Moreover, all the teachers and students of Northeastern University were extremely sad and indignant after 918, and they were forced to embark on the road of exile, becoming the first university in exile in modern Chinese history, and Xue Lin had to find a way to get these treasures back.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.

Listening to Zuo Yide's financial projection report, Xue Lin's heart trembled so much.

This is still because of the logistical support of the Red Police base, otherwise it would be good to be able to afford an armored division and an infantry division with this financial income.

looked at Li Du, and saw that the old general was also smiling bitterly.

Only then did Xue Lin know that he was sitting in the position of the leader of a force, and how many worries were pestering him, and this was only three provinces!

"But there's good news. After saying the bad news, Zuo Yide took out another document.

Including Xue Lin and Li Du, everyone present stared closely at Zuo Yide, who was wearing 3.5 glasses and was a little too thin to speak.

took out the documents, coughed twice, and Zuo Yide began to report the good news to everyone: "The property of the Northeast Army and the property of Zhang Shaoshuai looted by the Japanese army during the 918 incident have all been intercepted by us, and the total value is still being calculated, but according to the statistical list of the Japanese army's seizure of Fengtian Bank and Marshal Zhang's mansion, we have seized 250 million assets of Zhang Shaoshuai lying in the bank......"

Burst!

I don't know if the officer couldn't help but laugh, and then forcibly held back, and the others had the same expression, and the atmosphere in the entire junta conference hall was very embarrassing.

Even Xue Lin couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, and Li Du couldn't cry or laugh.

Just now I was still worried about the financial difficulties of rebuilding the Northeast after the war, so Zhang Shaoshuai sent them a 'newbie gift package' of 250 million yuan.
