[History of the Anti-Japanese War Volume 101, Volume 28, Taiyuan Battle I] records:
[Right-wing]:
On the 16th, the Japanese army in the area from the left (east) bank of the Hutuo River to the foot of Lingshan [4 kilometers east of Xinkou] increased to 3 or 4,000 people, and at dawn, with artillery support, attacked the main peak of Lingshan and 1263 of the right wing corps, and fought fiercely until 17 o'clock, and was repelled by the defenders.
On the left flank, there was fierce fighting all day, but the situation did not change.
In terms of the central area of Xinkou:
The 218th Brigade [Brigade Commander Dong Qiwu] attacked from Gongjiazhuang [6 kilometers northwest of Xinkou] to the enemy flank in Huaihua in the south at 2 o'clock, captured the old Hebei [now known as Huaihua East Street, 3 kilometers northwest of Huaihua] at 7 o'clock, and occupied the riverbank at the northern end of Nanhuaihua at 9 o'clock.
At the same time, the progress of the Nationalist army in the Xinkou Mountains was also very rapid, and all the Japanese troops occupying the south of Nanhuaihua and the high ground in the eastern end of the place continued to reinforce and resist, and the rest were annihilated by the Nationalist army one after another. Lieutenant General Hao Mengling, commander of the 9th Army, Lieutenant General Liu Jiaqi, commander of the 54th Division, and Major General Zheng Tingzhen, commander of the 5th Independent Brigade, bowed to the headquarters of the commander, competed to be the first, and the soldiers used their lives to destroy many enemies. As a result, the command was interrupted, the combat strength was suddenly reduced, and the success was lost.
At this time, in addition to appointing the agents of the commanders of the army, divisions, and brigades, and sending Commander Chen Changjie to command all units of the Central Corps to continue the operation, Commander-in-Chief Wei [Lihuang] also sent a telegram to the Military Commission, stating that the attack was not superior, and that the attack lasted for 6 days, with half of the casualties, and that the enemy had transported more than 300 vehicles to more than 10,000 reinforcements in the past few days.
Chairman Xuan Feng sent a telegram to Chairman Chiang: The 22nd Group Army in the area around Tongguan has been ordered to rush to the aid of the army. [Li Jianli's note, the 22nd Group Army (Commander-in-Chief Deng Xihou and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Sun Zhen) was included in the Second Theater sequence, limited to the reinforcement of Shanxi, under the command of Commander Yan] Commander Yan also Chi Dianfu arrived at Longquanguan (Pingxing Guannan) from the Shanxi-Hebei border region to Longquanguan (Pingxing Guannan) [60 miles southeast of Wutai Mountain, 70 miles east of Fuping County, Hebei Province] The 94th Division and the 529th Brigade of the 177th Division rushed to Hongdao Town at night and came under the command of Commander-in-Chief Wei [Lihuang].
At the same time, Commander-in-Chief Wei [Lihuang] learned that there were about 400 enemy vehicles, loaded with infantry, and that he was advancing westward from the Tuancheng Pass at 12 o'clock today, and judged that the enemy was about to arrive by the evening of the 17th at the latest, and that it would be advantageous to defeat the enemy in front of him before the enemy arrived. However, in the present situation, it was impossible to do so, so he decided to hold on to his present position and wait for reinforcements to arrive before attacking.
The 217th Brigade [Brigade Commander Liang Chunpu] and the 218th Brigade [Brigade Commander Dong Qiwu] withdrew to the vicinity of Xinkou to assemble; The 54th Division [Division Commander Liu Jiaqi] also withdrew to the south of Jiehepu [3 km north of Xinkou] on the north bank of Jiehepu to occupy a reserve position.
On the morning of the 16th, the 27th Air Force sent two planes to the Japanese artillery and antiaircraft gun positions in Laoxian and Yuanping, and when they were hit, they were hit by heavy fire from the enemy's antiaircraft guns.
