Chronology

In September 1937, Hideki Tojo sent the Japanese army stationed in Chahar to invade Shanxi in order to exploit it resources. Soon the city of Datong fell, and the NRA was forced to go on the defense, and concentrated their troops along the Great Wall, in Niangziguan and Pingxingguan. Yan Xishan also sent troops to reinforce Shijiangzhuang, but that caused a lack of personnel to defend the North China Plain area, allowing the Japanese army to break through in early October.
