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:
“Children need people in order to become human.... It is primarily through observing, playing, and working with others older and younger than himself that a child discovers both what he can do and who he can become—that he develops both his ability and his identity.... Hence to relegate children to a world of their own is to deprive them of their humanity, and ourselves as well.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“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, 9:11.
