Will I be able to enjoy the 72 hours direct transit exemption in China?

As a follow up of my rather costly mistake, I'd like to ask before I make another one. Under the following conditions, will I be able to use the 72 hour visa free exemption in China as a polish passport holder:

Arrive in Beijing via plane from Osaka on the 17th, with only carry on.
Leave Airport, pick up actual luggage from former apartament
Fly to Europe from Beijing via plane on the 18th with carry on & luggage.

The tickets (Osaka-Beijing, Beijing-Europe) are entirely separate.
