This battle concluded in loss for the National Revolutionary Army|NRA and effectively ended large-scale regular resistance in the North China Plain area. With these territory occupied, the Japanese obtained the coal supply in nearby Datong, but it also exposed them to guerilla attacks by the Eighth Route Army, tying down a large number of Japanese troops. 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 National Revolutionary Army|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. Fighting continued intermittently until November. China-hist-stub Japan-hist-stub WWII-stub battle-stub Category:Battles of the Second Sino-Japanese War Category:1937 zh:????????????
