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.

“In a secular age, an authentic miracle must purport to be a hoax, in order to gain credit in the world.”

“It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tossed upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth ... and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
