Start B with certain title, like this:
start "_operationB_" /MIN cmd /c call cmdB.bat
And in A you can locate B by its title and close it:
taskkill /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq _operationB_"

You could also use thetitlecommand from B to make it more distinguished, and you can set the title at any point within the batch file, so you could, for example, use A to close B only if it's at a certain point where it might stall (title This_might_stall).
