renaming files as a batch

Hello,

I am trying to rename CHAT files to have consistent file names. However, I 
am struggling to get the ren command to do this. 

Here are examples of the file names:
Play_T33_CCX_1002_cc.sltin.cha
Play_T33_CCX_1011_video_z.sltin.cha
PLAY_T33_CCX_1062_video_z.cha

Ideally, I'd like all files to be named Play_T33_CCX_#### where the #### is 
the unique identifier for that participant. This would remove the extra 
information after the unique identifier which differs across the file 
names. 

Is there a way to do this as a batch? 

Thank you,
