Conflict Background
In 1933 , after the Japanese invasion of Jaehe province, a truce was concluded between the Republic of China and Japan. But Japan continued to use internal conflicts between Chinese political groups to reduce their strength. Some local rulers, for example, Prince Dae Wang, Japan managed to persuade. Since Japan did not want to violate the truce openly, it was decided to use the forces of Menjiang and the militarist Wang In in the fight against China.
The course of hostilities
On November 14, 1936, the 7th and 8th divisions of the National Menjiang Army and the Great Han Fair Army attacked the Chinese garrison in Hongort. The attackers could not take the city, and already on November 17, Chinese troops counterattacked, putting the enemy to flight. Chinese troops attacked the headquarters of the Mongolian troops, and NAM lost 1,200 soldiers (300 killed, 600 wounded, 300 prisoners). The Great Han Fair Army was also defeated by Chinese troops.
Consequences
Small skirmishes in the province of Suiyuan lasted until July 1937.
The victory of the Chinese army caused an unprecedented rise in national consciousness. This was the first time in recent history when Japanese power was rebuffed. Numerous delegations from various provinces of China visited the battlefield, calling for resistance to the Japanese. The victory in Suiyuan assured Chiang Kai-shek in the increased power of the Chinese army and its ability to withstand the Japanese, as a result, during a clash with the Japanese the following year, he took a tougher stance. The defeat of the Japanese puppet governments led the Japanese to think of the need for rehabilitation on their own, which led to the incident on the Marco Polo Bridge and the full-scale Sino-Japanese War .
By the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), Dae Wang was able to restore his army. Menjiang's national army participated in the capture of the Chahar province.
