Chinese Order of Battle
Following the loss of Peiking, Tang Enbo's 13th Corps (4th and 84th Divisions) took up positions in depth along the Peiking – Suiyuan Railway at Nankou, and further to the rear at Juyongguan (Juyong Pass). Tang's 17th Corps stationed its 84th Division at Chihcheng, Yenching, and Lungkuan, covering the flank of the 13th Corps from Japanese forces in Chahar. The 21st Division was deployed in Huailai, on the railroad to the rear of Tang's forces. Chiao Cheng-shou's 1st Cavalry Corps, Liu Ju-ming's 143rd Division, and two Peace Preservation Brigades began an attack on the Mongol forces in northern Chahar.

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:
“In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.”
—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
“the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither
yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet
favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. IX, 11)
