Entrevista a Damián Castaño, cinco días después de torear la corrida de Miura en la Feria de Santiago de Santander. Ese día, el diestro salmantino hizo el paseíllo en el coso de Cuatro Caminos recién dado de alta de una grave cornada en el gemelo derecho y muy mermado físicamente. Covadonga Saiz y Julio César Sánchez analizan la decisión de Damián Castaño en la tertulia de Clarín y si realmente ha sido una gesta o una temeridad. Cuenta atrás para el comienzo de la temporada de verano de El Puerto de Santa María, que va a reunir en un mismo cartel el 9 de agosto a Morante de la Puebla y a Roca Rey, justo cuando hay un supuesto veto del peruano al sevillano. Claves de la Feria de Novilladas de Algemesí, que se va a organizar pese a los estragos de la dana. Escuchar audio
En esta plaza singular que es X, donde las palabras son estoque y los argumentos muleta, vamos a presentar a dos invitados de lidia mayor. Y lo haremos con el lenguaje de los ruedos, no por folclore, sino porque nada como la tauromaquia para retratar el valor, el estilo y la acometida con que estos dos tuiteros se enfrentan a las fieras del pensamiento dominante. Aquí no hay paseíllo por cortesía: entran directamente a los medios, desafiando a la plaza. Dos espadas de la palabra digital, dos figuras que no rehúyen ni el quite ni el embroque: Vaitovek a vuelto @Vaitovekisback y el periodista y escritor Manuel Valera @mmvaleraes. Cada uno, con su capote de opiniones afiladas, lidia en la plaza virtual con un estilo propio: Vaitovek corta con derechazos polémicos, desafiando narrativas sociales y políticas, mientras Valera traza naturales profundos, embistiendo contra el poder y la censura con una faena que busca el clamor del tendido. Por desgracia mucho del publico se encuentra todavía en sombra y ni los ve ni comprende su toreo. Son maestros que, con sus publicaciones, torean el albero de las ideas, dejando huella en cada pase para quienes siguen sus lances en esta plataforma. El primero en salir al ruedo es el diestro @Vaitovekisback, que no se anda con tanteos: entra de frente y por derecho, con una faena cargada de arrestos y verdad. «Como saben quienes me leen soy ateo. Pero además tengo sentido de la justicia e instintivo gusto por dar de hostias a los matones. Y hoy está claro que los católicos son especie perseguida, por tanto este diablo ateo fostiara siempre que pueda a quienes les ataquen injustamente.» Desde los primeros lances ya se ve que no es torero de salón. Con el capote bien asentado y los pies clavados en la arena, suelta verónicas afiladas que cortan el aire de lo políticamente correcto. «Qué hasta los cojones estoy de la moralina hipócrita del "odio". Si alguien viola a tu hija o te incendia tu casa y no le aborreces con todo tu ser y no descansas hasta hacer justicia y castigarle exactamente como merece, al milímetro, ESTÁS MUERTO IMBÉCIL.» Sus muletazos —con carga polémica— no esquivan las zonas calientes: feminismo, victimismo, moralina hipócrita, plandemias, holocuentos… «Soy incapaz de expresar lo increíblemente harto que estoy del supremacismo victimista, histérico, llorica, hipócrita, despótico y lunático de la gran mayoría de las mujeres, las cuales se han vuelto, feministas y no, absolutamente insoportables en todo y para todo.» No hay quite templado ni media verónica para el lucimiento. Aquí cada pase es una estocada a la línea de flotación de los discursos dominantes. Habla de la pandemia como una farsa sin ruedo, de las vacunas como veneno con etiqueta oficial, y de las élites como resabios de inquisidores modernos. «Operación COVID: Sólo hay un crimen más execrable y perverso que envenenar masivamente a la población de medio mundo, niños incluidos, a saber: Hacerlo engañándoles, convenciéndoles de que el veneno es una vacuna contra una enfermedad fantasma inventada y representada al efecto.» Como buen matador de fondo, no rehúye el tercio de varas: se planta y aguanta los pitos del respetable que no quiere ver como flojean al toro, y lanza pases largos a la inmigración subvencionada, a la corrupción mediática y a lo que él llama "el culto al gilipollas". «¿Asesinar al Presidente del Gobierno de otro país para promover un cambio de régimen conforme a los intereses del tuyo es un golpe de Estado extranjero o una "transición política pacífica y modélica”?» Sus reflexiones sobre inmigración, con las que apunta a las subvenciones como cómplices de salarios rácanos, o sus desplantes a los medios tradicionales, comparados con un culto ciego, levantan polvareda en los tendidos. «Soy "racista". Y estoy orgulloso de serlo. Y voy a por los hideputas racistas musulmanes, judíos y de toda laya que están jodiendo a mi gente. Y tú no eres "racista" sino un pobre gilipollas nenaza que piensa que si les chupas la polla lo bastante la cosa no será tan mala.» Desde 2023 hasta este julio de 2025, nunca ha salido por la puerta de chiqueros: siempre está al sol, toreando en abierto. «Qué interesante sería un estudio exhaustivo sobre la relación matriz-filial entre logias masónicas (y think thanks, fundaciones, etc. asociados) y partidos políticos, comenzando por las Rev. inglesa, francesa, americana, bolchevique, etc. hasta nuestros días.» En resumen, un torero bronco y con raza, que no busca trofeos fáciles sino remover los cimientos. Y tras el primer toro arrastrado ya por las mulillas, aparece de luces Manuel Valera, que le cae como anillo al dedo, con el porte y la gallardía que mandan los cánones del arte taurino. ¡Ole maestro! grita un exaltado desde el tendido nada más ver como se echa la muleta a la izquierda con serenidad y temple. Su estilo no es el del golpe seco, sino el del pase largo y profundo, con hondura crítica y aroma de disidencia ilustrada. Celebra el despertar colectivo frente a narrativas como la pandemia o la ingeniería climática. «Ahora estamos mal, pero estamos mejor que antes, porque antes estábamos bien, pero era mentira. No como ahora, que estamos mal pero es de verdad.» Hay en sus tuits algo de vieja escuela, como los naturales de Curro Romero o los cambios de mano de Rafael de Paula: no muchos, pero cada uno deja eco. Sus mensajes destilan propósito, convicción y una pulsión ética que no necesita ruido para ser contundente. «Un propósito en la vida. Una misión. Tomar lo tuyo como un monacato, levantarte y ponerte a ello sin que nada sea capaz de pararte.» Desde 2022 aqui en Twitter, y con especial fuerza en este 2025 donde nos regala su Nautilus todos los días, su faena se ha centrado en desenmascarar el relato oficial, denunciar la ingeniería social y reivindicar la lucidez como forma de resistencia. «La risa deshace el miedo, provoca que se tambaleen los cimientos del poder y libera a los presos del terror.» No rehúye ni el tercio de muerte: entra a matar con la palabra justa. Acusa a farmacéuticas, a gobiernos, a medios, y a quienes siguen el rebaño por inercia. Y si en la plaza hay censura, la señala con precisión quirúrgica. «La gente empieza a hablar abiertamente de invasión, de ingeniería climática, del robo de todos los políticos, del veneno de las farmacéuticas... Quizá esté siendo tan progresivo que no se haya notado, pero vaya cambio desde 2020. Ningún disidente se vuelve obediente. Sí al revés.» En sus crónicas, los poderosos son criminales, los ciudadanos despiertan, y el cambio ya está en marcha. Su muleta no busca el aplauso fácil: busca verdad. «Están pataleando inmersos en el barro, literal y figurado, de su miseria moral. A los que os acabáis de dar cuenta de que nos gobiernan criminales, a nivel mundial, y son todos, sólo deciros que eso es lo que muchos llevamos diciendo desde hace tanto.» Pero —¡ay!— como en toda buena corrida, llega el momento de cambiar de tercio. Y es entonces cuando estos dos toreros, que han dominado la plaza con arte y arrojo, se transfiguran en toros. Dejan el traje de luces y se desvisten en pelo negro de Miura: bravos, astifinos, impredecibles. Vaitovek se crece al castigo y embiste con la mirada fija en el burladero de lo correcto. Valera, encastado, mete los riñones con cada tuit y no deja un metro sin pisar en el redondel del pensamiento. Y aquí estoy yo, capote en mano, dispuesto a recibirlos a puerta gayola. Sí, porque en este Spaces, los lances serán míos. Aqui estoy plantado en el centro de este coso digital, dispuesto a templar sus embestidas, a sacarles pases por bajo, a dejarme rozar la taleguilla si hace falta, y a buscar, en cada frase, ese olé que nace del buen toreo. El respetable está listo. La plaza de X vibra. Que suene el clarín: empieza la entrevista. ………………………………………………………………………………………. He elegido esta estructura taurina para presentar el Spaces del día 22 a las 22 horas porque, más allá del arte del toreo, este encuentro es un pequeño homenaje al glorioso Dúo Sacapuntas, ese par de genios del humor que todos recordamos vestidos de toreros en el mítico Un, dos, tres. Y por supuesto porque se, Manuel, que tu eres un grandísimo aficionado. Porque sí, amigos, cuando uno ve a @Vaitovekisback y @mmvaleraes juntos en acción, no puede evitar pensar en aquel inolvidable “¡cómo estaba la plaza, abarrota!”, y su archifamoso 22, 22, 22. Aunque aquí en vez de chistes vienen derechazos dialécticos y naturales argumentativos. Así que prepárense, que el tendido digital se viene arriba… ¡y sin falta de subirse al carro de las mulillas que aqui no va a servir ninguno para hacer rabo de toro! ………………………………………………………………………………………. "Las mentes grandes discuten ideas; las mentes promedio discuten acontecimientos; las mentes pequeñas discuten sobre personas.” Eleanor Roosevelt ………………………………………………………………………………………. Bueno, ya sabéis que no creo en casualidades, así que hayamos coincidido los tres en un dia 22 a las 22 horas me indica una sincronización muy importante en nuestros caminos ya que este numero está cargado de una energía especial ligada a la construcción, el poder y el cumplimiento de metas. Ya sabéis que una de las cosas sobre las que hablo es la numerologia, lo hice en mi primer libro sobre Blasco Ibáñez, explicando un poco como en numerología están los números básicos que van del 1 hasta el 9 y luego números especiales que no se pueden reducir a una sola cifra, números llamados “maestros” como el 11, 22, 33. El número maestro 33 combina los poderes más competentes de expresión y realización (la del número 3) con el maestro y el tutor por excelencia, el 6. El rosario islámico tiene 33 cuentas. En la mitología hindú el 33 expresa perfección. Una de las cifras preferidas de todo masón que se precie y que desea lucir dentro de su estrella de seis puntas. Su verdadera esencia constituye la última etapa en la evolución espiritual, el Maestro de maestros. El 33 es el número maestro que en su perfección no se puede transformar en un 6. Tenemos un 6 infértil, un 6 egoista, un 6 que no es humano sino inhumano, del demonio del ego. Para el que no lo sepa este número representa la edad de la Maestría en la Iniciación de Jesús (su muerte, resurrección y ascensión), aparte de otros detalles esotéricos. El "33" simboliza el grado alto de consciencia espiritual por parte del ser humano”. Ese 33 representa plenamente a Blasco Ibáñez, en su maestría, en su autoidolatria, en su soberbia que lo impulsaba a ganar más y más dinero. Cuando hablamos de masones, y Blasco lo era, el 33 es el número de los maestros iniciados, el más alto grado dentro de la masonería. Y para ellos son muy importantes las columnas del templo. En la numerología caldea, cada letra del alfabeto porta un valor numérico que revela significados profundos y conexiones místicas. Las palabras Jachim y Boaz, nombres de las emblemáticas columnas del Templo de Salomón, encarnan un simbolismo poderoso ya que si sumamos el valor de cada una de sus letras nos dará el número 33, considerado un número maestro en diversas tradiciones espirituales como he dicho antes. Pero es que tenemos también el 11, ya que cada columna podría ser representada por un uno de forma individual. Curiosamente en la biblia, en Reyes 7 se describe la construcción del templo y termina hablando de ellas en el verso 22. Siendo estos los versos 21 y 22: «Estas columnas erigió en el pórtico del templo; y cuando hubo alzado la columna del lado derecho, le puso por nombre Jaquín, y alzando la columna del lado izquierdo, llamó su nombre Boaz. Y puso en las cabezas de las columnas tallado en forma de lirios, y así se acabó la obra de las columnas.» Jachim, que representa la fuerza, la estabilidad y el principio activo, y Boaz, que simboliza la sabiduría, la receptividad y el equilibrio, se alzan como guardianas del equilibrio cósmico en el umbral del templo. Que ambas palabras converjan en el valor 33 no es casualidad: este número, asociado con la maestría espiritual, la compasión y la elevación de la conciencia, refleja la unión armónica de lo divino y lo terrenal. Así, Jachim y Boaz no solo custodian la entrada al espacio sagrado, sino que invitan a quienes las contemplan a integrar la dualidad en un camino hacia la iluminación, resonando con la vibración de la perfección espiritual que encarnan el 11, el 22 y el 33. Pero vamos a dejarnos de zarandajas y descorrer de par en par el velo que guardan estas dos columnas. ¿Por dónde empezamos? ………………………………………………………………………………………. Del 11 y del 33 se ha hablado mucho, pero a menudo dejamos en segundo plano al segundo número maestro por excelencia: el 22. Este número no solo posee una vibración poderosa, sino que también está profundamente enraizado en múltiples tradiciones espirituales y sistemas esotéricos. El 22 guarda una conexión simbólica con los 22 Arcanos Mayores del Tarot, que representan el viaje del alma hacia la conciencia plena, así como con las 22 letras del alfabeto hebreo, fundamentales en la Cábala. Esta antigua tradición mística asocia el número con los 22 senderos que conectan los diez sefirot del Árbol de la Vida, canales por los que fluye la energía divina y que reflejan etapas del crecimiento espiritual y humano. En la Biblia, este número aparece implícitamente a través del simbolismo de las 22 letras hebreas, mientras que en el hinduismo, se relaciona con las 22 consonantes fundamentales del sánscrito, cada una portadora de resonancias sagradas utilizadas en mantras y rituales. Asimismo, en la cultura china y el feng shui, el 22 se considera un número auspicioso que representa doble bendición, éxito, y una profunda armonía entre el cielo y la tierra. Numerológicamente, el 22 es conocido como el "Maestro Constructor", ya que combina la intuición y sensibilidad del número 2 con la fuerza práctica y estructuradora del número 4 (2 + 2 = 4). El 2 es la pareja, la dualidad y el cuatro es la casa donde esta pareja criara a sus hijos. Esta dualidad le permite convertir sueños elevados en realidades tangibles, construyendo sobre cimientos sólidos. Es un número que conjuga la visión con la acción, la espiritualidad con la materia, lo abstracto con lo concreto. Quienes vibran con el 22 poseen un potencial excepcional para planificar, liderar y materializar proyectos de gran escala que tienen un impacto positivo y duradero en la sociedad. Son visionarios pragmáticos, dotados de una capacidad singular para traducir ideales en estructuras estables, ya sea en el ámbito social, político, artístico o espiritual. Sin embargo, esta energía también conlleva un reto: el peso de su propio potencial. La presión por alcanzar metas elevadas puede generar bloqueos, inseguridad o una tendencia al perfeccionismo paralizante. Por ello, el 22 exige madurez emocional, firmeza interior y una fuerte conexión con un propósito superior. Solo así puede desplegar toda su fuerza constructiva sin caer en la dispersión. En su expresión más elevada, el número 22 representa la sabiduría aplicada, el servicio desinteresado y la construcción de un legado que trasciende al individuo. Es un puente entre lo divino y lo humano, entre la idea y la forma. Un número reservado para aquellos llamados a dejar una huella profunda en el mundo, no solo con sus acciones, sino también con su visión de futuro. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Os voy a leer 22 axiomas alquímicos que dan mucho que pensar: 1.Nada resiste a la voluntad del hombre cuando conoce la verdad y quiere el bien. 2.Querer el mal es querer la muerte. Una voluntad perversa es el comienzo del suicidio. 3.Querer el bien con violencia es querer el mal; pues la violencia produce el desorden y el desorden el mal. 4.Se puede y se debe aceptar el mal como medio del bien; pero es necesario ni quererlo ni hacerlo, de otro modo se destruiría con una mano lo que se edificaba con la otra. La buena fe no justifica nunca los malos medios; ella los corrige cuando los sufre y los condena cuando los toma. 5.Para tener derecho de poseer siempre es necesario querer pacientemente y por largo tiempo. 6.Pasar su vida queriendo lo que es imposible de poseer siempre es abdicar la vida y aceptar la eternidad de la muerte. 7.Cuanto más la voluntad salta obstáculos más fuerte resulta. Por eso Cristo glorificó la pobreza y el dolor. 8.Cuando la voluntad se dedica al absurdo, queda reprobada por la eterna razón. 9.La voluntad del hombre justo es la voluntad de Dios mismo y es la ley de la Naturaleza. 10.Por la voluntad la inteligencia ve. Si la voluntad es sana, la vida es justa. Dios ha dicho: «Que la luz sea», y la luz es. La voluntad dice: «Que el mundo sea como yo quiero verlo», y la inteligencia lo ve como la voluntad ha querido. Es lo que significa la palabra “Así sea”, que confirma los actos de fe. 11.Cuando se forman fantasmas, se llena el mundo de vampiros; precisa alimentar esas puerilidades con pesadillas voluntarias en las que intervienen la sangre, la vida, la inteligencia y la razón sin saciarlas jamás. 12.Afirmar y querer lo que debe ser, es crear; afirmar y querer lo que no debe ser, es destruir. 13.La luz es un fuego eléctrico puesto por la naturaleza al servicio de la voluntad; ilumina a los que saben emplearla, quema a los que abusan de ella. 14.El imperio del mundo es el imperio de la luz. 15.Las grandes inteligencias cuya voluntad no se equilibra bien, se parecen a los cometas, que son soles abortados. 16.No hacer nada es tan funesto como hacer mal; pero es más cobarde. El más imperdonable de los pecados mortales es la inercia. 17.Sufrir es trabajar. Un gran dolor sufrido es un progreso realizado. Los que sufren mucho viven más que los que no sufren. 18.La muerte voluntaria por abnegación no es un suicidio; es la apoteosis de la voluntad. 19.El miedo es solo una pereza de la voluntad y por ello la opinión difama a los cobardes. 20.Llegad a no temer al león y el león os temerá. Decid al dolor: quiero que seas un placer y llegará a ser, no solo un placer, sino hasta más que un placer, una dicha. 21.Una cadena de hierro es más fácil de quebrar que una cadena de flores. 22.Antes de clasificar a un hombre como feliz o desgraciado, sabed que es lo que ha hecho con la dirección de su voluntad. ¿Sabéis quién escribió estos 22 principios? Pues nada más y nada menos que el ocultista francés Alphonse Louis Constant, más conocido como Eliphas Levi (1810-1875), sí, el del baphomet. Este escribió su famoso libro, en realidad son dos, Dogma y ritual de la Alta Magia y lo estructuró en 22 capítulos, paralelos a las cartas de Tarot, y que además de sus hechizos, talismanes, amuletos e invocaciones, contiene una serie de conocimientos arcanos y estas 22 proposiciones para mejorar como seres humanos. Me he leido entero dogma y muy poco el denominado ritual, aunque os digo que contienen mucha información respecto de la magia blanca y la magia negra, pactos con el demonio, nigromancia, y los peligros de introducirse en estos ámbitos sin los conocimientos adecuados. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Y como hago a veces, hoy nos vamos a despedir el programa con algunas citas, por supuesto de nuestros dos invitados. Empezamos con Váitovek y esta demoledora y potencialmente problemática cita sobre uno de los tabúes de nuestro tiempo, los judíos: «El judaísmo bíblico es supremacismo racista absoluto. Su deidad tiene como objetivo EXPRESO para su pueblo el saqueo, esclavización y exterminio final de todas las naciones, ie, de TODO EL MUNDO. Ergo es con mucho la ideología más criminal, execrable y deforme de la historia.» Le toca el turno a Manuel Valera, casi mi tocayo por parte de apellido, que lleva deleitándonos con su Nautilus desde 2015, que a modo de cuaderno de bitácora nos cuenta todos los días lo que siente un escritor de la mejor forma que sabe hacer, escribir: «La risa deshace el miedo, provoca que se tambaleen los cimientos del poder y libera a los presos del terror. Con cada carcajada se escucha el sonido de las cadenas que caen y el estruendo de los muros de las prisiones mentales, deshechos. Por eso al que manda le viene mal que la gente ría libremente.» No tengan miedo y cuiden de sus familias, esa es mi cita recurrente para despedir estos Spaces…hoy, además, les dejo con una de Carl Jung, psiquiatra y psicoanalista suizo, fundador de la psicología analítica, simplemente para hacerles pensar: «Ningún árbol puede crecer hasta el cielo a menos que sus raíces lleguen al infierno.» ……………………………………………………………………………………….

¡Vamos a escribir una carta a los Reyes Magos de Oriente!... o mejor dos. He hecho una lista de 20 coches de los que me gustaría que las marcas respectivas hiciesen un “remake”. Pero espero hacer una segunda lista con vuestras propuestas… ¡Este va a ser un podcast divertido! Un remake que, para que valga la pena, tiene que cumplir unas condiciones: Primera: Mantener el espíritu del modelo original. Segunda: Ofrecer un nuevo modelo dirigido a un tipo de cliente similar. Tercera: Respetar las líneas estéticas maestras del original. Cuarta: Que exista un hilo conductor también en el aspecto técnico. Quinto: Y a lo mejor, la más importante, ¡ser valientes! Vamos con mi lista de candidatos. 1. Aston Martin DB5 (1963). Para mí no hay un Aston Martin más bonito que este. 2. Cadillac Eldorado (1959). ¡Hay que ser valientes! 3. Citroën DS (1955). Para mi uno de los coches que más se prestan y se merecen algo así. 4. Citroën C15 (1984). Probablemente la furgoneta de las llamadas “derivadas” con más mística… 5. Citroën 2 CV (1948). No hay un remake que respete nuestras 5 condiciones. 6. DMC DeLorean (1981). ¡Pocos coches se merecen más una segunda oportunidad que este! 7. De Tomaso Pantera (1971). La verdad es que pocos coches han envejecido mejor que este. 8. Fiat Multipla (1998). Para mí este modelo fue más incomprendido que feo. 9. Fiat-Seat 127 (1971). Este modelo, nacido como Fiat en 1971, merece un remake. 10. Honda S2000 (1999). Este modelo, que cumple 26 años, requeriría de muy poco para volver a estar en activo. 11. Jaguar E (1961). Esta idea me vuelve loco. 12. Lamborghini Miura (1966). ¿Quién tiene lo que hay que tener para pretender mejorar la obra, genial, del genial Marcello Gandini? 12+1. Lancia 037 (1982). Hablamos del último coche capaz de ganar un Mundial de Rallyes con tracción a un solo eje. 14. Lancia Stratos (1973). Una mezcla de las dificultades del Miura y del 037. 15. Lotus Esprit (1976). Un coche a menudo olvidado a pesar de ser “coche Bond” . 16. Mach 5 de Meteoro (1967). He incluido este coche de ficción, aunque lo hubo “funcionales”. 17. Mazda Mx3 (1991). En este caso no se trata solo de carrocería, sino de hacer un moderno motor V6 de 1.8 litros. 18. Opel Kadett GSi (1984). Opel dejo escapar por el sumidero la imagen del Kadett GSi, en particular y del último Kadett en general. 19. Peugeot 205 (1983). Peugeot realmente nunca ha sido capaz de llenar el vacío que dejó su 205. Y puede que solo sea posible llenar el hueco del 205 con… otro 205. 20. Toyota 2000 GT (1967). Personalmente agradezco a Toyota que sea una de las pocas marcas que sigue apostando con los coupés. Conclusión. Comentábamos en un video sobre los “remake” que faltan ideas. Ideas y valentía. Pero ya que las marcas no saben hacer modelos con capacidad de seducción que recuperen, como ya ha hecho BMW con Mini, Fiat con su 500 y ahora Renault con su R5, las buenas ideas del pasado. Es una buena opción, ¿no os parece?
Hoy viene al programa MARIO VILAU; el torero de la resistencia, de la Cataluña taurina y el abanderado del toreo catalán.

Empieza el último encierro de los Sanfermines, hoy con los Miura corriendo por las calles de Pamplona para despedir las fiestas. Esperemos que las despidamos bien, sin mayores problemas, aunque ya estamos viendo las caídas y tropiezos habituales en estos primeros metros de la cuesta de Santo Domingo, y eso que ni siquiera han llegado los toros. Son Miuras, ya lo dice lo demás como un Miura. Pero ya solo por miedo ves algún tropezón que otro, míralo, no habían llegado y ya se estaban tropezando los pobres. Bueno, esta noche ya, perdona, hoy propongo que hablemos de esas veces en las que uno va ...

En fin, en una hora tenemos el octavo y último encierro de los Sanfermines. Hoy, como es habitual, son los toros de Miura los que van a correr por las calles de Pamplona y confiamos que nos dejen un encierro limpio para decir adiós a las fiestas porque ayer los toros de la Palmosilla nos dejaron tres corneados. En cualquier caso, esta próxima noche ya se entonará Javi Mar en la plaza del ...

On this episode of Next on the Tee We kick things off with one of the most respected voices in sports psychology, Dr. Bob Winters, aka the “Confidence Doctor.” Dr. Bob joins me each month to help us strengthen our mental approach to the game, and this week we dive into the topic of “choking” — what it really is, and more importantly, what it isn't. Following Tommy Fleetwood's tough finish at the Travelers Championship, social media lit up with talk about pressure and performance. Dr. Bob offers his expert perspective and guidance to help us stay focused when the pressure's on. Plus, we talk about the incredible success his junior players are having — if you know a young player looking to elevate their game, Dr. Bob is the person to call. Then I'm joined by my wonderful friend and Assistant Captain, Darren Pang. With the Stanley Cup Finals in the rearview mirror, it's always great catching up with Panger to talk hockey and golf. We discuss what it's going to take to dethrone the now back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers and preview next February's Olympic hockey tournament. On the golf side, Darren shares his love for Miura clubs, why Royal County Down tops his list of favorite courses, and his memories from being at the 1997 Open at Royal Troon. He also gives us a look inside his home course Prestwick Village Golf Club in Michigan and his personal backyard putting green crafted by Celebrity Greens.

Last time we spoke about the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. On July 7, 1937, tensions escalated between Japan and China as the Japanese military conducted a training exercise near the Marco Polo Bridge. During the exercise, gunfire erupted, sowing confusion and leading to the unexplained disappearance of one soldier. This incident prompted Japan to demand permission to search the nearby city of Wanping, which was denied by Chinese forces, escalating tensions further. By the next day, Japanese troops attacked, resulting in fierce fighting at the bridge. Under heavy assault, Chinese defenders fought valiantly but faced overwhelming force. As the conflict intensified, both sides struggled with heavy casualties, leading to the full-scale Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese military's aggressive maneuvers and the determined Chinese resistance marked the beginning of a brutal conflict, forever altering the landscape of East Asia. The profound toll on both nations foreshadowed the horrors of war that were to come, as China prepared to defend its sovereignty against a relentless enemy. #155 Operation Chahar 1937 Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. By the end of July of 1937 the Japanese had overwhelmed the Beiping-Tianjin region. It's pretty understandable as to how this came so fast. As we have discussed thoroughly in this series, the Japanese had gradually seized control over Northern China going back to Operation Nekka in 1933. Little by little they had carved it out. Typically when you pull out a map of a war between two nations, one nation pierces into the other and gradually seizes control of key locations until it archives victory. However with the case of the outset of the Second Sino-Japanese War its more like the Japanese are starting at multiple key locations where they have concessions, treaties or where there are autonomous regions. Thus its honestly a huge headache to follow. When the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, Chiang Kai-Shek had been in Kuling, a mountain top resort where he spent his summer vacations. He received the news with composure, but his message to the nation conveyed a sense of optimism and anticipation. The embarrassment of the Sian mutiny was a thing of the past. Although he wasn't overly confident, he believed that this was the pivotal moment China had been preparing for, more so than at any time in recent years. For nearly three weeks, efforts were made to resolve the situation through diplomatic means. For the first time, Chiang was in a position to make demands. He understood they would likely be rejected, but that wasn't the main point. He asked Japan to acknowledge its responsibility for the recent turmoil, to issue an apology, and to provide compensation. After making that request, he addressed his nation with a formal commitment: China would not accept any settlement that compromised its sovereign rights or territorial integrity. No changes would be permitted regarding the status of the Hubei-Chahar Council, and local officials would not be reassigned at the request of any foreign government. Any restrictions on the Twenty-ninth Army's positions would be unacceptable. He declared that the era of Japanese expansion in North China had come to a definitive end. The Japanese army achieved significant victories on the battlefield in China, leading to the inevitable expansion of the conflict. The first major campaign following the Nanyuan victory unfolded along the mountainous border marked by the inner Great Wall, separating northern Hubei from Chahar. On the Jinpu Railway, just south of Tianjin, lies a small station known as Jinghai. Adjacent to this station is the Jian River, which had swollen to a width of 20 meters due to intermittent heavy rains in northern China after the Japanese army's occupation of Tianjin. The embankments on either side of the river were overgrown with dense reeds and grass, and a wooden arch bridge spanned the river. After landing at Dagukou in Tianjin, the 10th Division, commanded by Lieutenant General Rensuke Isogai, advanced south along the Jinpu Railway. However, as the vanguard, the 10th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade made its way through the muddy terrain towards the Jian River's wooden bridge, they were suddenly taken aback. A group of Chinese soldiers appeared, their faces vividly painted red and armed with long-handled broadswords, a sight reminiscent of the legendary Chinese figure Guan Yu, as depicted in many traditional portraits. These soldiers belonged to the 26th Independent Brigade of the 38th Division of the 29th Army, who were in retreat from Tianjin. Following the city's fall, they had retreated southward to Jinghai Station, where they prepared to make a stand. Brigade Commander Li Zhiyuan recognized their inferior numbers and weaponry compared to the Japanese forces. Drawing from painful lessons learned during the positional battles in Tianjin, he decided to divide his troops strategically: one battalion would defend the station, another would protect the county town, and a third would engage in guerrilla tactics along the Jinpu Road. If faced with a small number of Japanese soldiers, they would fight fiercely; if overwhelmed, they would attempt to encircle the attackers to prevent a direct assault on their main position. Despite the Japanese army's attempts to advance, including efforts to send an armored train into Jinghai Station, the Chinese soldiers cleverly laid straw on the tracks and buried mines, thwarting the train's progress. Once Japanese troops disembarked to mount an offensive, they were ambushed by the battalion executing guerrilla tactics, resulting in a chaotic retreat that left behind several dozen casualties. Over the course of weeks, the divisional headquarters ordered a battalion of Japanese troops to move south along the Jinpu Road, requiring them to cross the Jian River at the wooden bridge. The 26th Independent Brigade was assigned to halt this advance, and they managed to hold their ground for over 20 days. Recognizing the gravity of their situation, Brigade Commander Li Zhiyuan gathered his group and battalion commanders to emphasize the necessity of pushing back the Japanese forces. He passionately rallied them, declaring, “We must defend this river to the death. Each regiment will select a death squad. Each member will carry a long-handled broadsword and four grenades, paint their faces red and rush across the bridge to engage in melee combat!” When Li asked for volunteers to lead the death squad, the regiment commander, Zhu, eagerly stepped forward, quickly gathering a group that followed him, uniting passionately in their cause. The death squad charged across the bridge, catching the Japanese off guard with their war paint and weapons. The sudden attack left the Japanese soldiers dazed, leading to a chaotic retreat as they struggled through the muddy terrain. In the tumult, more than 200 long-handled swords struck down a significant number of Japanese troops. Those advancing from behind panicked at the sight of their retreating comrades. An officer, dismounted during the chaos, was left behind, and the Chinese soldiers, filled with zeal, pressed forward, ignoring the orders from Brigade Commander Li Zhiyuan to fall back for their own safety. Despite moments of heroism, many fell that day by the Jian River, as the officers and soldiers burned their boats and set fire to the wooden bridge, rendering retreat impossible. As the Japanese military consolidated its power in the Pingjin region, many leaders underestimated the tenacity of Chinese resistance. Plans were made to defeat the Chinese army and air force swiftly, aiming to resolve the issue in North China decisively, with no diplomatic negotiations or external interventions allowed during military operations. Now, in late July to early August, Chiang Kai-shek issued orders to improve defenses at Nankou. He mobilized Tang Enbo's 13th Army in Suidong for battle readiness, tasked Liu Ruming to sabotage railways, and directed Fu Zuoyi and Yan Xishan in Suiyuan to prepare for conflict. Troops were reorganized rapidly, with divisions merging to strengthen the 17th Army under Liu Ruming's command. Chiang insisted that Nankou's defenses be deep and wide to thwart enemy cavalry and tank assaults, rendering Japanese mechanized advantages ineffective. He called for close cooperation among commanders and a resolute defense. Tang Enbo's 13th Army, consisted of the 4th and 89th Divisions, whom established defensive positions along the Peiping-Suiyuan Railway at Nankou, with additional units positioned further back at Juyongguan. The 13th Army, was 20,000 men strong, all motivated soldiers committed to fighting the Japanese, but their equipment was woefully inadequate. The 89th Division had a few outdated artillery pieces, whilst other units were in even worse condition, hampering their effectiveness against the well-armed Japanese forces. Liu's 17th Army stationed its 84th Division at Chihcheng, Yanqing, and Longguan, effectively securing the flank of the 13th Army against potential Japanese advances from Chahar. The 21st Division was deployed in Huailai, situated along the railway to the rear of Tang's forces. Additionally, Zhao Chengshou's 1st Cavalry Army, Liu 's 143rd Division, and two Peace Preservation Brigades commenced an offensive against Mongol forces in northern Chahar. As the Japanese launched initial assaults on Nankou on August 4, fierce fighting erupted. The Chinese defenders fought valiantly, but heavy bombardments by artillery and air raids took a toll. The Japanese began using tanks to support their infantry, yet the 530th Regiment successfully repelled an attack at Deshengkou. Meanwhile, the Japanese intensified their efforts, culminating in poison gas assaults that overwhelmed Chinese positions on Longhutai, leading to significant losses. Despite the escalating pressure and casualties, the determination to hold Nankou was unwavering. On August 5, the Kwantung Army requested permission for the advance guard to move to Changpei, arguing that the Central Army's invasion of Chahar had jeopardized the security of Manchukuo. This request was denied, yet the advance guard proceeded to Changpei on August 8. This unauthorized movement by the Kwantung Army was a serious act of defiance, as Tolun lay outside Manchukuo's borders, and troop deployments required imperial authorization. Although imperial sanction had been obtained for the move to Tolun on July 28, permission for the advance guard to proceed was only granted retroactively, with the stipulation that they would not advance further into Inner Mongolia. Nevertheless, this unauthorized action ultimately compelled the high command to approve the advance to Changpei. On August 7, the Japanese army launched a large assault on Nankou with its three main divisions, aiming to breach the Great Wall and advance westward along the Pingsui Railway to flank the strategic city of Shanxi. By August 8, the Japanese forces that had captured Beiping and Tianjin deployed the entire 20th Division, commanded by Lieutenant General Kawagishi Fumisaburo, and supplemented their efforts with the 5th and 10th Divisions, along with the Sakai Brigade, to attack Nankou along the Pingsui Railway. On August 8, the Japanese 11th Independent Mixed Brigade, led by General Shigiyasu Suzuki, initiated an attack on the left flank of the 13th Corps' position at Nankou. However, their efforts were halted after three days due to challenging terrain and the determined resistance from Chinese forces. On the same day, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the activation of the 14th Group Army, comprising the 10th, 83rd, and 85th Divisions, under General Wei Lihuang. Elements of the 14th Group Army traveled by rail from Yingchia-chuang to Yi County and then embarked on a ten-day march through the plains west of Beiping to flank and support Tang Enbo's forces. Meanwhile, the Chinese 1st Army Region launched attacks against the Japanese in Liangxiang and Chaili to divert their attention and dispatched a detachment to Heilung Pass to cover the advance of the 14th Group Army. On August 9, the central high command ordered the China Garrison Army to eliminate resistance in the area and instructed Kwantung Army Commander Ueda Kenkichi to send reinforcements from Jehol and Inner Mongolia to support the operation. The China Garrison Army deployed its 11th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 5th Division, recently arrived from Hiroshima under Lieutenant-General Itagaki Seishirö, to launch an attack on the mountainous regions around Nankou and Pataling within the Great Wall. Following intense fighting, they succeeded in crossing into Chahar. The Kwantung Army aimed to conquer Chahar and, upon receiving approval from the Japanese General Staff, established an expeditionary headquarters on August 14, led by its chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tojo Hideki. Yes that Tojo. Tokyo's objective was to secure the strategic flank of Manchukuo, while the Kwantung Army sought to create puppet regimes in northern China and integrate the occupied territories into a Japanese sphere of influence. The Chahar Expeditionary Force comprised three mixed brigades, including Japan's only fully mechanized unit, which was equipped with medium tanks, heavy and light armored vehicles, and light tanks. The Japanese troops shifted their main attack toward Zhangjiakou via the Pingsui Railway due to pressures from the Kwantung Army eager to occupy Inner Mongolia, Suiyuan, and Chahar. They sought to eliminate threats from the rear before launching further operations along the Pinghan Line and Jinpu Line. The 11th Independent Mixed Brigade of the 20th Division of the Chinese Garrison Army was ordered to assault Chinese defenders in the Nankou area, with the goal of capturing key locations on the Great Wall, like Badaling, to facilitate the Fifth Division's advance. The Chinese assessed the Japanese strategy, believing they would first secure critical points along the Pingsui route to facilitate further incursions into Shanxi and Zhengding. They understood that holding the Nankou line was vital for both logistical support and tactical maneuvering. Nankou, a key town on the Pingsui Railway connecting Beijing to Zhangjiakou and Baotou, was surrounded by mountains and the Great Wall, marking it a significant natural defense line. As the Japanese army aimed to capture Zhangjiakou and divide their forces into Shanxi and Suiyuan, the Chinese army's control over Nankou became crucial. A renewed assault on August 11, bolstered by tanks and aircraft, successfully captured Nankou Station, allowing General Suzuki's brigade to advance toward Juyong Pass. On August 12, Tang Enbo's army launched a counterattack, encircling the Japanese forces and severing their supply and communication lines. That day, Tang Enbo sent a telegram to Luo Fanggui: “Brother Fanggui, Commander Luo of the 529th Regiment, I have received your telegram. Your regiment has recently defeated formidable enemies, laying the groundwork for our army's future victories. Your efforts bring me great relief! The Nankou position is critical to our nation's war of resistance. Despite the enemy's numerical superiority and fierce artillery fire, we cannot surrender this area. It is our fighting spirit, not our numbers or advanced weaponry, that will help us withstand these powerful foes. We vow never to abandon our positions. Life is transient, and we must embrace our fate. A hero perishing on the battlefield is the glorious destiny of a soldier.” On the same day, he also sent a telegram to Wang Zhonglian: “Brother Jieren Wang, commander of the 89th Division, I have read your telegram. Brigade Li has triumphed against formidable foes, establishing a precedent for our army's victory. Your successes bring me much comfort! The Nankou position is our glorious objective. If I perish, the country lives on. If I survive, the country perishes. We would rather die defending this position than live in disgrace. Please convey to all the officers and soldiers of your division, who share in this struggle, the importance of striving for victory!” On August 13, Tang Enbo ordered the defensive positions at Nankou to be abandoned as the remaining troops pulled back to stronger positions at Badaling and Juyongguan. Renowned journalist Fan Changjiang noted Tang Enbo's physical and emotional toll, describing him as a mere shadow of his former self after enduring relentless battles without rest. His subsequent thoughts and fears reflected the despair of facing insurmountable odds, with the Japanese army overwhelming the Nankou defenses. Casualty reports from the Battle of Nankou reveal stark discrepancies; average estimates suggest Chinese losses neared 26,000, while Japanese casualties were around 2,600,an alarming ratio of 10 to 1. Despite the devastating defeat, Tang Enbo's leadership gained national recognition for his efforts, though he viewed the loss of Nankou as a blemish on an otherwise honorable defense. The indomitable spirit displayed during the relentless struggle at Nankou, despite the defeat and challenges faced, inspired a sense of resilience among the Chinese people, reminding them that even in dire circumstances, they would not yield to oppression. Meanwhile in response to having their supply and communication lines severed, on August 14, Seishirō Itagaki dispatched the 5th Division to relieve the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade at Juyonggua. Fu Zuoyi's troops attacked Chahar from Suidong. Dong Qiwu 's troops attacked Shangdu and recaptured it on the 14th, while Shi Yushan 's troops attacked Dehua and recaptured it on the 16th. By the 16, Itagaki had arrived at Nankou and initiated an enveloping assault targeting the right flank of the 13th Army, executing a five-pronged attack at Huanglaoyuan. In anticipation, the 7th Brigade of the 4th Division, commanded by Shi Jue, was positioned to counter this maneuver. Reinforcements, including Li Xianzhou's 21st Division and Zhu Huaibing's 94th Division, were brought in, resulting in several days of intense fighting. On August 17, General Yan Xishan, Director of the Taiyuan Pacification Headquarters, ordered the 7th Group Army, commanded by Fu Zuoyi, to move the 72nd Division and three additional brigades by rail from Datong to Huailai to support Tang Enbo's forces. Chiang Kai-shek urged steadfastness in the face of adversity, emphasizing that retreat was not an option. But with communication breakdowns and logistical challenges, Tang Enbo faced dilemmas that would lead him to issue the order for his troops to break out on August 26. As the Japanese army occupied Huailai and Yanqing, Tang Enbo's forces executed a withdrawal, retreating via various routes before suffering further losses. Meanwhile Liu Ruming's troops of the 143rd Division of the 29th Army took Zhangbei from Zhangjiakou . Proceed to Wanquan Dam , the junction of Wanquan and Zhangbei. The members of the pseudo-Mongolian military government fled to Duolun under the leadership of King De . In order to relieve the danger in Zhangjiakou, Liu Ruming's troops began to attack the enemy in Zhangbei. On August 20, they captured key points such as Bolicai Village outside Zhangbei City. At this time, the mechanized troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army led by Hideki Tojo rushed from Rehe to support Zhangbei. When passing through Guyuan, they were divided into two groups: one group of Japanese troops, the Suzuki Brigade and Homma Brigade went south to attack Zhangjiakou. On the night of August 21, the Chinese army retreated to Shenweitai, 25 kilometers south of Zhangbei County. On August 22, the Japanese army began its attack. Shenwei Tower fell at midnight on the 23rd. At the same time, another part of the Japanese army launched a roundabout attack on Wanquan County. On the morning of August 24, they captured Wanquan County, and then headed straight for Zhangjiakou along the highway with an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion. From August 25 to 27, the Japanese army attacked Bajiaotai, the highest point of Cir Mountain west of Zhangjiakou. At noon on the 27th, Zhangjiakou fell. Gao Guizi's 17th Army marched to Dushikou to resist the enemy from Duolun Akagi and Longguan and intercepted the Pingsui Railway. Gao Guizi's troops failed to withstand the Japanese attack, and the 301st Regiment of the 29th Army stationed in Xuanhua also retreated southward. On August 28, Xuanhua fell into the hands of the enemy. Meanwhile, in northern Chahar, the Chinese 1st Cavalry Army successfully captured Shangdu, Nanhaochan, Shangyi, and Huade from the puppet Mongolian Army led by Demchugdongrub. Elements of the 143rd Division secured Zhongli, while the main force advanced to Zhangbei. During this Chinese offensive, the Japanese Chahar Expeditionary Force, consisting of the mechanized 1st Independent Mixed Brigade along with the 2nd and 15th Mixed Brigades, prepared for a counteroffensive from Zhangbei to Kalgan. Tojo personally commanded the units of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade during Operation Chahar, which would serve as his only real combat service for his career. From August 18 to 19, the Chahar Expeditionary Force launched a counterattack from Zhangbei, capturing Shenweitaiko on the Great Wall and the Hanno Dam. The scattered and ill-equipped Chinese forces were unable to halt the Japanese advance, which now threatened the Peking–Suiyuan Railway at Kalgan. On August 20, General Fu Zuoyi's 7th Group Army diverted its 200th and 211th Brigades, which had been moving south by rail to join General Tang Enbo's forces, back to defend Kalgan. Fu's remaining 72nd Division arrived to reinforce Chenpien, while his 7th Separate Brigade was dispatched to protect the railhead at Huailai.On August 21, the Japanese forces breached the defenses at the villages of Henglingcheng and Chenbiancheng. General Tang Enbo's forces, awaiting reinforcements but having suffered over 50% casualties, continued to defend Huailai, Juyong Pass, and Yanqing. Liu Ruming's 143rd Division retreated to safeguard Kalgan from the advancing Japanese troops. On August 23, as Seishirō Itagaki's 5th Division advanced toward Huailai from Chenpien against Ma Yenshou's 7th Separate Brigade, advance elements of the 14th Army Group arrived on the Japanese flank at Chingpaikou. They successfully drove off the Japanese outpost and made contact with Japanese forces advancing toward Chenpien. However, delays in crossing the Yongding River postponed their attack until it was too late to halt the Japanese advance. Due to poor communications, they also failed to coordinate with General Tang Enbo's forces during the battle. After eight days and nights of fierce fighting, on August 24, Itagaki linked up with the Kwantung Army's 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade at Xiahuayuan. By August 24, the Japanese army breached the defensive line of the Chinese defenders' Wang Wanling Division along the western Hengling, crossed the Great Wall, and advanced into the Huailai area. At this time, the Japanese forces attacking Zhangjiakou from Chabei also secured control of the railway line west of Zhangjiakou, posing a significant threat to the Chinese defenders at Nankou. On August 25, the Chinese defenders were compelled to withdraw from Nankou and retreat to Juyongguan. By August 27, they received orders to break out and relocate southward, completely evacuating the Nankou battlefield. Since Wei Lihuang's troops lost their intended target for reinforcement and Baoding along the Pinghan Line was in a state of emergency, they engaged the enemy in the Wanping area for over a month before retreating south. Following the abandonment of both Nankou and Juyongguan, the Japanese army invaded Huailai City on the night of August 27. The Chinese army suffered over 16,000 casualties, while the Japanese army reported more than 15,000 casualties. On August 26, General Tang Enbo's forces were ordered to break out toward the Sangchien River, while Liu Ruming's troops were directed to withdraw to the opposite side of the Hsiang-yang River. On August 29, a Japanese unit known as the Oui Column by the Chinese and the Ohizumi Detachment by the Japanese launched an attack. According to Hsu Long-hsuen, this unit moved south from Tushihkou, and on August 30, it attacked Yenching via Chihcheng but was repelled by the Chinese 17th Army. The unit had moved to Guyuan by August 25 and reached Xuanhua by September 7, effectively cutting the railway behind Tang's forces and east of the Chinese defenders along the Great Wall. Following the repulsion of the Oui Column's attack, the Chinese 17th Army withdrew to join the rest of Tang Enbo's forces on the far side of the Sangchien River. Kalgan fell to the Japanese on August 27. After General Fu Zuoyi's 200th and 211th Brigades failed in their counterattack to recapture Kalgan, Fu's forces retreated to the west to defend the railway to Suiyuan at Chaikoupao. On August 30, the army high command ordered the task force and the China Garrison Army to occupy Chahar Province. The North China Area Army deployed Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division, the theater's strategic reserve, for this operation. The Japanese forces relied on armored units to breach Chinese defenses and utilized rail lines to transport troops and supplies effectively to critical locations throughout Chahar. Although the First Independent Mixed Brigade's tanks and armored cars demonstrated proficiency, the Kwantung Army's assessment of the operation criticized the armored units for their lack of shock effect and frequent mechanical breakdowns. Additionally, these vehicles required significant supplies and maintenance, leading the army to deem them ineffective in combat situations. The Second Air Group provided crucial support for the ground offensive in Chahar. From mid-August, this air group, stationed in Chengde and Jingzhou, conducted bombing raids on enemy positions and transport routes, performed reconnaissance missions, and even airdropped supplies to encircled Japanese forces. To match the rapid advance of the mechanized ground forces, air units were repositioned to advanced airfields. After bombing Taiyuan in late August, some units returned to their home bases, leaving behind two fighter squadrons and two heavy bomber squadrons, which formed a provisional air regiment. By mid-September, the Fifth Division and the Chahar Expeditionary Force were advancing southwest through the rugged mountains of Shanxi Province and captured Datong on September 13. Five days later, anticipating a decisive battle, Lieutenant General Katsuki ordered the Fifth Division to pivot southeast toward Baoding to encircle the retreating Chinese forces. Shortly after repositioning, Itagaki learned from aerial reconnaissance that Chinese units were assembling near Pingxingguan (Dayingzhen) Pass. Concerned that these forces might advance eastward through the pass and threaten his rear, Itagaki dispatched a regimental-sized task force under the command of Major General Miura Keiji, leader of the Twenty-first Brigade, to disperse the enemy troops and control the road on both sides of the pass. Miura's task force departed by truck in the mid-afternoon of the following day, but the overland movement proved much slower and more challenging than anticipated. Travelling along a single rutted dirt track through steep mountains, the forty-nine trucks carrying his infantry and heavy weapons, including crew-served machine guns and battalion artillery, could only manage a speed of seven miles per hour. By late afternoon, the lead elements were still about five miles east of the pass when they encountered a few hundred Chinese troops who had retreated after a brief firefight. As night fell, the Japanese moved cautiously forward and reached a village approximately a mile from the pass, where they encountered stiff resistance, including mortar and automatic weapons fire. After successfully repelling a counterattack by the Chinese Seventy-third Division, Miura launched a night assault. Supported by pack artillery and heavy machine guns, two Japanese companies pushed through the pass and seized the high ground on its west side by early morning. However, Chinese reinforcements soon arrived and attempted to reclaim the lost territory, resulting in ongoing fighting for the heights on September 24. Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist 115th Division, comprising the 685th, 686th, and 687th regiments of the Eighth Route Army, consisting of around 6,000 effective troops under the command of twenty-nine-year-old Lin Biao, maneuvered south around the Japanese rear. By September 24, they had interposed themselves on the road east of the pass, effectively cutting off Miura's task force from its supply base. That same day, the Central Army's Seventy-first Division launched several sharp counterattacks against Miura's outnumbered forces west of the pass, threatening to overrun the Japanese positions. Central Army and Communist forces had planned to attack both flanks of the Japanese at dawn on September 25, but torrential rains delayed the advance of the Central Army reserves. The downpour also muffled the sounds of an approaching Japanese night assault. Utilizing the poor night security of the Chinese, Japanese assault parties surprised the Seventy-first and Eighty-fourth divisions, pushing them from their positions west of the pass. Miura mistakenly believed he controlled both sides of the pass and assumed the Chinese forces were in full retreat. Unbeknownst to him, Lin Biao's troops had blocked the eastern entrance to the pass, prompting him to order a resupply column with rations and ammunition forward from about fifteen miles east of the pass to replenish his depleted task force. The supply train, consisting of seventy horse-drawn wagons and eighty trucks, struggled to make progress along the single dirt track, where sections had become muddy bogs due to the heavy rains. Most of the hundred-plus soldiers handling the horses and wagons were untrained and unarmed. The few regular service corps soldiers carried only ten cavalry carbines, while a single infantry platoon of thirty men provided security. The eighty trucks transported another 176 men, most of whom were not infantry. Therefore, the resupply column was ill-prepared for any trouble. Following a sunken road worn down by centuries of caravans, the column approached the pass through a narrow man-made defile, with its sides rising as high as thirty-five feet above the track. Around mid-morning, about four miles east of the pass, the Chinese Communist 115th Division launched an ambush. Communist troops rained grenades and small-arms fire from the high ground overlooking the road onto the trapped convoy. Although the Japanese fought back desperately, the combination of surprise, advantageous terrain, and overwhelming numbers turned the road into a killing ground. The ambush decimated almost all of the teamsters and the infantrymen who protected the wagons. At his field headquarters, Miura heard the heavy gunfire and explosions and quickly ordered a battalion-sized rescue force to assist the convoy. However, the Chinese 685th Regiment, blocking the only road to the trapped supply train, halted the Japanese battalion. Elements of the 685th and 686th regiments then finished off the motorized convoy, with only five trucks at the rear escaping. After looting weapons, equipment, and clothing, the Communists burned the remaining vehicles and withdrew southwest into the rugged mountains. Although the Communists claimed to have killed 3,000 Japanese troops, the more realistic number is around 200. Nonetheless, Lin Biao's guerrillas had achieved a significant tactical success. While the 115th Division destroyed the Japanese resupply column east of the pass, the Central Army's Sixth and Seventh Army Groups, including the Seventy-first Division, launched a series of day and night assaults against Miura's dispersed units west of the pass. Both sides incurred heavy losses, and the Japanese struggled to maintain control of the high ground as the Chinese fanned out through the valleys and attacked from all sides. Isolated and under heavy attack, the Japanese were low on ammunition, food, and water, lacked proper cold-weather clothing in the frigid mountains, and were greatly outnumbered. They resorted to scavenging ammunition and weapons from fallen Chinese soldiers. Itagaki promptly ordered his 41st and 21st infantry regiments, supported by an infantry regiment from the Kwantung Army located about fifty miles northeast of the pass, to rescue the beleaguered task force. These regiments moved along a narrow mountain road amidst heavy rain, which slowed their progress. The relief force split up about forty miles north of Pingxingguan, with the Twenty-first Regiment swinging westward to outflank the Chinese, while the other two regiments continued toward the pass. To the northwest, the Fifteenth Brigade of the Chahar Expeditionary Force advanced southeastward from Datong to encircle the Chinese. Central Army forces defending along the inner Great Wall, about fifty miles northwest of Pingxingguan, inflicted substantial casualties on the Japanese. The Japanese Forty-first Regiment finally reached Miura on September 28, and on the same day, the Twenty-first Regiment dislodged the stubborn defenders along the Inner Great Wall, roughly forty miles northwest of the pass, disrupting the entire Chinese defense and threatening to surround the besieging forces. Nonetheless, fighting continued through September 29, when the Second Brigade broke through the Chinese Central Army's defenses and advanced westward. Facing potential encirclement and certain destruction, the Japanese Sixth Army Group withdrew southwest the following day. Japanese accounts do not specify overall losses, but Chinese reports claim nearly 3,000 Japanese casualties while acknowledging they suffered ten times that number. After five days of intense fighting in rugged terrain, Miura's forces managed to hold their ground, but their heavy losses and those sustained by relief columns rendered it a Pyrrhic victory. Both Communist and Nationalist Chinese forces retreated southwest, surviving to fight another day. The determination of the Chinese Central Army in both offensive and defensive maneuvers, combined with the skillful hit-and-run tactics of the 115th Division, inflicted significant damage on the Japanese and became a cornerstone of Chinese propaganda. On October 1, the Japanese General Staff ordered the North China Area Army to destroy the Chinese forces in Shanxi Province, which were estimated to number over twenty divisions from either the Shanxi Army or the Central Army, and were fortifying positions in Taiyuan, Yangquan, and Yuanpingzhen. The Japanese Fifth and Twentieth Divisions advanced toward Taiyuan, while the Fifteenth Division, reinforced by a mixed brigade, launched an assault south from Yuanpingzhen on October 13. The Fifteenth Division quickly encountered strong Chinese resistance from well-prepared defenses, which halted its advance. From October 19 to 26, the Twentieth Division faced thirteen Chinese divisions entrenched near Jiuguan. Although they successfully repelled numerous fierce counterattacks, the division was unable to breach the Chinese lines. A maneuver by one of its regiments to the rear of the Chinese defenses forced a withdrawal of Chinese troops. The reconstituted Fifth Division joined the pursuit of the retreating Chinese forces on November 3, reaching Taiyuan five days later. Meanwhile, the Twentieth Division, moving westward, inflicted heavy losses on the Chinese units that were withdrawing from Taiyuan. Overall, given that the offensive aimed to secure territory, it can be considered a tactical and operational success. Shortly thereafter, all Japanese forces, except for the Twentieth Division, withdrew from Shanxi Province. The Chahar campaign concluded with the Kwantung Army in control of Chahar, Suiyuan, and the northern half of Shanxi Province. The Japanese quickly established puppet regimes in the captured territories.

In July 1937, tensions between Japan and China erupted following the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, leading to fierce fighting as Japanese troops attacked. Chinese defenders, under command of Chiang Kai-shek, bravely resisted despite overwhelming odds, determined to protect their sovereignty. The Battle of Nankou saw relentless assaults, tank warfare, and desperate defense tactics, revealing the depth of Chinese resolve.
In this episode we speak with folks from the Hawaii County Department of Finance, Property Tax Administration office, about recent changes to Hawaii County's property tax regulations and filing requirements that can allow agriculture producers to receive, or continue to receive, preferential property tax rates for their property on the Big Island of Hawaii. These changes have created quite a stir among agriculture producers so we wanted to get more information and some clarification about these changes.Brought to you by University of Hawaii College of Tropical Ag. and Human Resilience (CTAHR), and the Seeds of Well-being (SOW) Project.

Federico y Amorós analizan la Feria de Sevilla destacando a Morante de la Puebla y la previa de la novillada de Alcurruén en San Isidro 2025. "No salimos no salimos de Sevilla y ya entramos en San Isidro", ha apuntado Federico Jiménez Losantos en el comienzo de Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana que hace junto a Andrés Amorós durante las ferias de Sevilla y San Isidro. En la edición de este martes han hecho un resumen de los festejos celebrados estas últimas semanas en la Real Maestranza de Caballería y la previa de la novillada de Alcurrucén en la Monumental de Las Ventas. Una de las cosas que ha destacado Amorós es que en los tendidos de Sevilla ha habido "una cantidad de gente como yo creo que no he visto nunca. Estaban muchísimos días con el cartel de No Hay Billetes y los otros días casi todo lleno". El cronista ha dicho que "la gente tiene ganas de ir a los toros" y que eso es un "éxito enorme" del ministro de Cultura, Ernest Urtasun, por su persecución personal contra la tauromaquia. Amorós ha destacado que es "gracias a él". En cuanto a lo sucedido en el ruedo maestrante, Andrés Amorós ha destacado las actuaciones de Morante de la Puebla, pero antes ha hablado del estado de las ganaderías. Ha dicho que "los toros están regular" y que "el tercio de varas es puramente simbólico" y que eso "indica la decadencia del toro bravo". Sin embargo, ha dicho que hubo "dos corridas muy buenas, la de Alcurrucén y la de Santiago Domecq", también "una de Juan Pedro Domecq muy buena dentro de su línea" y "luego toros sueltos que salen en todas las ganaderías buenas aunque salga la mayoría de la corrida regular". Cree que algunos ganaderos "buscando un toro noble, colaborador y que se deja (expresiones terribles)" esto "acaba en la falta de casta, en la falta de fuerza y en la falta de emoción". Ha advertido que "en Madrid hay un poquito más de exigencia que en Sevilla". Sobre los toreros ha dicho que "sólo uno ha abierto la Puerta del Príncipe: David de Miranda". Un matador de toros que "tiene muchísimo mérito". Ha indicado también los que han cortado "dos orejas" y que son: Morante, Roca Rey, Borja Jiménez, Manuel Escribano y Pepe Moral". Andrés Amorós ha indicado que tiene "mérito especial lo de Pepe Moral con los Miura y lo de Escribano con los victorinos"."La feria de Morante" Andrés Amoros ha explicado que "sin duda esta ha sido la feria de Morante y se recordará absolutamente". Ha contado que "sorprendió" rescatando suertes antiguas y "lo que ha demostrado es una entrega y una regularidad como hace tiempo que no tenía". Federico ha recordado cómo el torero de La Puebla del Río "en el año del Covid asumió la responsabilidad". "Ahora, después de la enfermedad, otra vez ha dicho, voy a estar ahí. ¿Cuánto le durará? No lo sabemos. ¿En qué estilo torea? Yo lo resumo muy rápido: no es Joselito el Gallo, es Rafael el Gallo. Hace pinturerías y cosas que la gente no conoce y se va del toro con una gracia… Ahora bien, el centro de la faena: verónicas y naturales. Verónicas magníficas y naturales muy cerca y jugándose el tipo. Tiene valor", ha indicado el cronista. Amorós ha dicho que el papel de Morante "ha sido magnífico" y que "ha ayudado a una cosa bonita que es que en Sevilla se hablaba de toros porque ha sido el acontecimiento y todo el mundo comentaba lo de Morante". Además de las actuaciones del genio de La Puebla, el cronista ha destacado las actuaciones de Daniel Luque y Miguel Ángel Perera porque son toreros "poderosos". "El problema es que la espada está impidiendo" que triunfen y, según Jiménez Losantos "ambos se venden muy mal". Son "dos toreros muy serios y que están muy bien", ha añadido Amorós. Otro matador de toros que ha destacado es a "Manuel Escribano" que "está estupendamente para las corridas duras". Andrés Amorós ha criticado "el comportamiento del público". "Yo lo siento muchísimo. Amo y respeto a Sevilla, me encanta ir allí, pero la decadencia del público es evidente, como de la España actual", ha indicado. El cronista ha cargado con "el paso de cubatas de Gin Tonic continuo" que "es terrible" y que produce "un desbarajuste y una falta de exigencia muy grande". Ha reiterado que siente "mucho, sobre todo, una cosa que es que Sevilla tenía una sabiduría, un sentido de la medida y una prudencia" ya ya no tiene y que es "lo que ha sido Sevilla y lo que debía seguir siendo de alguna medida".De Sevilla a Madrid Aunque la Feria de San Isidro 2025 lleva ya tres tardes y una Puerta Grande descafeinada de Talavante hoy se celebra la primera novillada del ciclo. La terna se se presenta en Las Ventas en este encierro de Alcurrucén. Amorós ha dicho que hoy se incorpora a San Isidro y que en Madrid sí que hay un "sector que cumple su papel" y que "aunque a veces se equivoca, pero claro, los exigentes pues también ayudan". De la novillada de Alcurrucén ha comentado que es una ganadería "interesante" que "ha tenido éxito en Sevilla". Ha contado que "es de encaste Núñez" lo que "quiere decir que suelen salir abantos o distraídos muchas veces" y que "depende también a veces del que lidia" para que "al final saque un fondo de nobleza muy grande". Es "es un cartel interesante: Sergio Sánchez, Aarón Palacio y Javier Zulueta". De la terna ha dicho que a Sergio Sánchez no lo ha visto y que por eso no opina sobre él. De Zulueta ha explicado que es "el príncipe heredero de Sevilla" y que allí "lo quieren muchísimo porque es de la familia de los alguacilillos de la plaza". "Es un jovencito rubio, muy guapo, muy fino y torea con mucho gusto, muy delicado. Va a tomar la alternativa ya. Vamos a ver si es capaz de dominar a los toros, además de conseguir la estética", ha apuntado. El tercero de los que se presentan esta tarde en Las Ventas es Aarón Palacio un novillero aragonés que "nos deslumbró y nos ganó a todos porque torea de verdad, pero dentro del clasicismo, sin hacer tonterías". "Yo le he visto ganarse al público en plaza exigentes" y "la exigencia, sin llegar al exceso, es necesaria. Y si no exiges, pues todo se cae, naturalmente", ha finalizado Amorós.
Federico y Amorós analizan el final de la Feria de Sevilla en la que han destacado Morante, David de Miranda y Pepe Moral. La Feria de Abril de Sevilla ha terminado y ha demostrado que Morante de la Puebla ha regresado en su mejor registro. En la sección Al Alimón en Es la Mañana, Federico Jiménez Losantos y Andrés Amorós han comentado los últimos cuatro festejos del serial sevillano. En estos días la Maestranza se ha llenado de público buscando ver las faenas de los principales toreros del escalafón y a la espera de la inspiración del genio de La Puebla del Río, el gran destacado de lo que llevamos de temporada taurina en la capital andaluza. Amorós ha dicho que tiene "mucha prevención a la literatura barata en los toros, que es una peste horrible", pero ha reconocido que "la verdad es que la Maestranza es una maravilla". Ha contado que "hay un sitio en el que te asomas y ahí tiene una terraza que da al río y allí se ve Triana y se ve el río yendo hacia la desembocadura. Bueno, en la caída de la tarde, una maravilla". El cronista ha comentado de manera cronológica lo sucedido de jueves a domingo en el ruedo de la Maestranza. El jueves "salió una corrida de Juan Pedro Domecq buenísima, pero buenísima que quiere decir dulcísima porque es que no tenía casi ningún el mínimo de problemas que puede tener un toro bravo". "Hombre, siempre lo tiene, pero si yo fuera torero, ¿qué toros querría matar? Pues por comodidad esos, naturalmente, pero como aficionado a mí me gustan toros que tenga más fuerza, más poder y que planteen más problemas. Así es donde se ve el que vale y el que no", ha explicado. "Unos toros tan dulces tienen también un inconveniente que la gente no se suele dar cuenta y que es que descubren lo que lleva cada uno dentro. Porque, claro, si con esos toros no estás de maravilla, ¿qué va a pasar?", ha dicho Amorós que ha destacado que "Urdiales, pues torea con clasicismo; Castella tiene oficio, pero no tiene arte y con esos toros dice muy poco; y Pablo Aguado, pues al revés: tiene arte sin oficio. Tiene una cosa muy rara, que está muy bien, que es una cierta naturalidad, pero es que no cuaja los toros. Entonces se ha convertido ya en un mito sevillano como Ortega, pero todavía cuaja menos que Ortega las faenas", ha dicho.Morante deslumbra por Rafael El Gallo A continuación ha hablado del festejo del viernes en el que se lidiaron en Sevilla "muy malos toros de Garcigrande, los que eran favoritos del Juli". Ha dicho que "en Sevilla, han salido muy malos" pero "fue una gran corrida" en la que Morante ha demostrado que "está extraordinario". Amorós ha destacado que el torero de La Puebla del Río "es un verdadero genio" y ha contado que aunque "todo el mundo dice que la referencia es Joselito el Gallo" él está toreando por "Rafael el Gallo, que era un señor que sabía muchísimo". Ha dicho que la diferencia es que Rafael "tenía mucho miedo" y que "Morante tiene menos. La ventaja es que Morante es más valiente que Rafael el Gallo, pero que le hacía a los toros cosas de una belleza y de una fantasía extraordinaria". "Entonces Morante deslumbra a la gente con serpentinas, con toda clase de adornos con el capote, pero lo que tampoco se da cuenta la gente es que detrás de eso y las largas a una mano y todo eso la base de la faena sigue siendo verónicas maravillosa y naturales maravillosos". El cronista ha explicado que Morante "es un torero clásico y lidiador y que, además, puede con los toros". Ha animado a los aficionados a que "vayan a ver a Morante, si pueden". Ha destacado que "de momento está toreando extraordinariamente". En la corrida de ese día también torearon Daniel Luque y Tomás Rufo. Del primero ha dicho que frente a Morante está "en otro tipo de estilo". Pero que "demostró que ahora es el mejor lidiador, sin duda ninguna". Ha dicho que "con un toro malísimo de Garcigrande Luque se metió con él jugándosela y dándote todas las ventajas y consintiéndole y acabó haciéndole faena". "Un lidiador que con un toro que es un mansazo acaba convirtiendo en un toro relativamente bueno y hace una gran faena es una cosa extraordinaria", ha apuntado. Sin embargo, "el presidente no se enteró y no le dio ni la oreja después de matarlo bien". "Luque: maravilloso dentro de su línea, que es no la de Morante, y Rufo, pues un peldaño por abajo, porque es más joven, pero dentro de los jóvenes pues es de los mejores que hay ahora, escuela toledana, mando y temple y está bastante bien".David de Miranda, por encima de Roca Rey El sábado se lidiaron toros de El Parralejo para Cayetano Rivera, Roca Rey y David de Miranda. Salieron "todos muy malos, muy flojos, salvo uno muy bueno", ha dicho Andrés Amorós. El cronista ha recordado que "ese día fue el de la despedida de Sevilla de Cayetano". Del matador de toros de dinastía ha dicho que "tiene casi 50 años y ha aprendido a torear tarde. Tiene sus límites y bueno, pues está bien. Le despiden con cariño. Una cosa muy de Sevilla es que justo al antes de empezar la faena ya empezaron a tocar el pasodoble Juncal. Un detalle cariñoso y ya está". "Luego toreaba Roca Rey, que el día anterior estuvo bastante bien y al borde de la Puerta del Príncipe. Roca Rey, que es sin duda el más taquillero, y supongo que el que más cobra, pero el cartel, hombre, lo que yo quiero es a un Roca Rey que rivalice con los de su nivel y con todos los respetos, un cartel de Roca Rey con Cayetano y con David de Miranda, hombre, eso es pasarse. Económicamente para el empresario, oye, pues es bueno, pero para el aficionado mídase usted con los grandes. Es como si el Real Madrid juega siempre con un equipo en principio inferior, ¿no? Y además eso tiene un peligro que es que a veces acaba saliendo mal", ha reflexionado. "¿Qué le pasó a Roca Rey?", se ha preguntado Amorós. "Que la vez anterior había estado bien y esta vez los toros no fueron buenos y entonces empezó a producir una división de opiniones fuerte, hubo frases que se escucharon muy bien en el silencio de la Maestranza y que no le gustaron, como es lógico. Entonces se encaró con el público de sol y no pasó nada y se fue de la Feria con dos silencios, algo regular para una figura", ha indicado. David de Miranda El que se llevó el triunfo que el onubense David de Miranda, que "era el el más modesto en principio, ya que torea poco". Este torero !se jugó la vida absolutamente, cortó orejas y abrió la Puerta del Príncipe y ya está. Entonces merece un poquito de atención de los empresarios", ha dicho.Fin de Feria con la corrida de Miura Como es tradición desde hace ya bastantes años el broche a la Feria lo puso la corrida de Miura que lidiaron Manuel Escribano, Pepe Moral y Esaú Fernández. Ha contado Amorós que "los miuras salieron como siempre, complicados" y que "los seis toreros toros fueron a portagayola y yo creo eso no lo había visto nunca en ninguna corrida". "Escribano no tuvo suerte" porque le tocaron "unos miuras muy complicados y ya está. No acabó bien la feria, pero se ha anunciado como una figura matando las de Victorino, Santiago Domecq y Miura. Para quitarse el sombrero", ha destacado Amorós. El cronista ha dicho que "Esaú Fernández tuvo voluntad y lo de Pepe Moral fue una cosa muy conmovedora". Ha recordado que "Pepe Moral es un torero sevillano con mucha clase, pero que había decaído su ánimo. Entonces se fue a América y ahí estaba rehaciéndose. Ayer salió de verdad a hacer lo que hiciera falta para recuperar el sitio. Cortó una oreja en cada uno, se la jugó y además con buen estilo, o sea que estuvo bastante bien".
Pepe Moral corta 2 orejas a los toros de Miura en la última corrida de la Feria de Abril de Sevilla. Los dos últimos trofeos de un total de 27 en el ciclo hispalense, cuyo balance final es analizado en la tertulia de Clarín con Álvaro Rodríguez del Moral y Paco Moreno. Rotundo Miguel Ángel Perera en el toreo en redondo al cuarto de la tarde de la ganadería de Fuente Ymbro en la tercera corrida de San Isidro, aunque el extremeño pierde trofeo por el fallo con la espada.

Andrés Amorós analiza la corrida de Victoriano del Río de la Feria de Sevilla con Perera, Roca Rey y Juan Ortega. La Feria de Abril sevillana, que este año se está desarrollando en mayo, está dando sus últimos coletazos y cada día deja momentos memorables. En Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana de Federico, Andrés Amorós ha contado lo sucedido en la corrida de Victoriano del Río en la que destacó un nombre propio: Andrés Roca Rey. El matador de toros peruano y una de las principales figuras del toreo actual cortó dos orejas y se quedó cerca de abrir la Puerta del Príncipe en su primera participación en el serial sevillano de 2025. Se colgó el cartel de No Hay Billetes en una tarde en la que también trenzaron el paseíllo Miguel Ángel Perera y Juan Ortega. Amorós ha contado que "ayer era día de fiesta en Sevilla para que los sevillanos pudieran ir a la Feria" y eso supuso "un récord de gente" en un "año fresco, con nada de calor". Los toros de Victoriano del Río salieron "muy nobles, algunos un poquito flojo, pero nobilísimos" y "Miguel Ángel Perera no cortó orejas, pero confirmó que está en un gran momento, muy poderoso y muy bien". Sobre Juan Ortega ha dicho que "lo esperan en Sevilla y lo siguen esperando porque da algunas verónicas con arte y algún doblón muy bonito, pero no cuaja una gran faena y se despide de la Feria con dos silencios". "Bueno, pues habrá que seguir esperando", ha añadido el cronista.Roca Rey, cerca de la Puerta del Príncipe Andrés Amorós ha dicho que Roca Rey "tuvo muchísima suerte porque le tocó un lote directamente de Puerta del Príncipe, pero lo aprovechó dentro de su estilo. Lo aprovechó plenamente". "Lo que pasa es que a los más exigentes sevillanos ese estilo de Roca Rey no es el que les gusta más", ha explicado Amorós que ha insistido en que el peruano tuvo un "lote estupendo". "Ya en el primer toro cortó las orejas claramente porque era nobilísimo y le hizo de todo, por la derecha, por la izquierda, toda clase de muletazos y, claro, era de prever que en el último bastaba con una oreja" para abrir la Puerta del Príncipe. "Le salió un toro todavía mejor y lo toreó también bien, pero el toro se acabó pronto y se rajó. Lo que pasó es que él, que ahora ha recuperado el sitio con la espada, ayer, en el momento decisivo, en el sexto toro, falló porque pincho y perdió la Puerta del Príncipe simplemente por la espada. Pero ha quedado muy bien dentro de su estilo y confirma claramente que es el torero más taquillero y al que la gente sigue más", ha contado Amorós. El cronista ha lamentado la presencia de "un público de feria, un público muy festero" que "para pedir la oreja hay gente que no la pide aplaudiendo o sacando el pañuelo, sino que se llevan los dedos a la boca dando unos pitidos. Eso no era el público de Sevilla ni debe serlo".El final de la Feria de Sevilla 2025 Este jueves, viernes, sábado y domingo llega la traca final de la Feria de Sevilla de esta temporada con primeras figuras y buenos toreros. Andrés Amorós ha recordado que "hoy jueves hay un cartel un poquito menos brillante" en el que "va a torear un torero que para el gran público a lo mejor no es tan conocido, pero que es muy buen torero clásico: Diego Urdiales". Ha recordado que "a Curro Romero, cuando le preguntaron ¿Quién le te gusta? ¿Cómo torea? Dijo que Urdiales, que torea con un estilo clásico". El cronista ha dicho que es "muy bueno" y que aunque no tenga "un gran éxito seguro que algunos pases buenos va a dar". Al matador de toros le acompañan Sebastian Castella y Pablo Aguado y lidiarán un encierro de Juan Pedro Domecq. De la corrida del viernes ha dicho que es "un gran cartel" y que puede ser "un día tremendo" porque "vuelve Morante de la Puebla con Daniel Luque nada menos, y con Tomás Rufo, que sabes que de los jóvenes es uno de los mejores. O sea que el viernes es una corrida muy muy importante, pero también te recuerdo que el viernes empieza la de San Isidro, porque es que este año se solapan. Y claro, pues no se puede estar en los dos sitios a la vez". Los tres matadores de toros lidiarán toros de Garcigrande. Amorós ha comentado que el sábado es "la segunda corrida de Roca Rey" además de "la despedida de Cayetano" de la plaza de Sevilla junto a David de Miranda y toros de El Parralejo. El domingo se pone el broche final con la tradicional corrida de Miura con Manuel Escribano, Pepe Moral y Esaú Fernández. Una corrida que se televisará en abierto para todo el mundo por Canal Sur como se podrá ver en TeleMadrid la Feria de San Isidro al completo. Para Amorós es "la forma por la que muchísima gente conoce el mundo de los toros y se aficiona".

Last time we spoke about the Jiangqiao Campaign and resistance of Ma Zhanshan. Ma Zhanshan, born in poverty in 1885, rose to prominence through his exceptional skills and military service. Appointed acting governor of Heilongjiang during the 1931 Mukden Incident, he defied orders to surrender to Japanese forces. Leading a spirited defense of the Nenjiang Bridge, Ma's troops repelled repeated Japanese assaults despite heavy casualties. His resistance inspired national pride and drew global attention. Ultimately outnumbered, Ma's forces retreated, but his bravery became a symbol of Chinese resistance to invasion. On December 7, Japanese and puppet troops attacked Sanjianfang, but Chinese forces, led by Ma Zhanshan, mounted a fierce counterattack, inflicting heavy casualties. Despite being outnumbered and lacking resources, the defenders showcased remarkable bravery, even shooting down an enemy aircraft. After intense fighting, Ma's troops withdrew to avoid further losses, facing starvation and exhaustion. Though Qiqihar fell to the Japanese, Ma's resistance inspired national pride and calls for unity against the invaders, drawing support from across China. #141 The First Tientsin Incident Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. This episode is going to be dealing with an old friend of ours, Mr Colonel Kenji Doihara. Now I don't think I dabbled much in the early history of Doihara, so where better to start. Doihara was born in Okayama City of Okayama prefecture in 1883. He attended military preparatory schools in his youth and would graduate 16th of his class at the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1904. His first assignment was to an infantry regiment as a junior officer, before he returned to school where he graduated 24th in his class at the Army Staff College in 1912. During his military and academic years he learnt how to speak Mandarin fluently, alongside picking up some other Chinese language dialects. Because of his language skills he was chosen for military intelligence, specifically targeting China. During the early 1920's he took up various postings in Northern China. During 1921-1922 he took part in the Siberian Intervention. In 1926 he was attached to the 2nd IJA regiment, the next year the 3rd IJA regiment. In 1928 he took an official tour of China attached to the 1st IJA Division. It was that same year he was made a military adviser to Zhang Zuolin, whose death he most certainly had a heavy hand in. In 1929 he received a promotion to Colonel and was given command of the IJA 30th regiment. In 1931 he was made head of the special service section of the Kwantung Army stationed in Mukden. As we are quite now familiar with, Doihara was part of the team that engineered the Mukden incident. It was he who ordered Lt Suemori Komoto to place and detonate the bomb on the tracks. Doihara would become a key agent during the conquest of Manchuria, being one of those specialists who helped facilitate cooperation between the Manchurian officials such as Zhang Haipeng, Zhang Jinghui and Xi Qia. However Doihara also performed covert operations during this time period, quite bold in scale. Believe it or not one of these rather insane operations would be to try and restore the Qing Dynasty. Shocking I know, who would want that old corrupt thing restored? You would be surprised how many old Manchu loyalists were still kicking around and how many youth saw China to be such a pit of despair, they would rather turn the clock back to a time they assumed was better for China. The Japanese had sunk their teeth into two provinces of Manchuria and only needed to seize the last one for total conquest of China's northeast. On September 22nd a secret meeting was held in the Kwantung Army chief of staff office. There Doihara presented a new plan to ensure the establishment of a new puppet state in Manchuria and possibly inner Mongolia. The plan was to kidnap the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi. After the Xinhai revolution, Puyi continued to live in the forbidden city, however in 1924 he was expelled by Feng Yuxiang and took refuge in the Japanese concession in Tientsin. Puyi had met with many Japanese military and civilian leaders during his stay in Tientsin. He had a distant relative and occasional house guest named Yoshiko Kawashima who just happened to be a close confidant of Doihara. Doihara and his like minded colleagues presented Puyi with a scheme, they would seize Manchuria and restore the Qing throne over it, forming a new state with Puyi as its emperor. For Puyi it seemed like a stepping stone to restoring Qing rule over all of China, but he certainly feared becoming a puppet to the Japanese. Doihara planned to kidnap Puyi, but he had a tight timetable as it was going to be necessary to depart from the port of Yingkou, which was soon to freeze over. Therefore his operation needed to be concluded prior to November 16th. Doihara was a meticulous man in his work, but his plan was leaked. The Japanese foreign Minister Kijuro Shidehara had learnt of his scheme to kidnap Puyi and instructed the Japanese consul general at Tientsin to oppose Doihara. On November the 1st, the Consul-General contacted Doihara, but Doihara responded that if the Emperor was willing to risk his life by returning to Manchuria, it would be easy to make the entire affair seem as if it was instigated by Qing restorationists. He further added that he would talk to Puyi and if he was unwilling, he would dispatch a telegram to the military authorities at Mukden to call the entire operation off. The next day, Doihara visited Puyi and told him the time was ripe and there would never be an opportunity like such again. He stated Japan would recognize him as the Emperor of an independent Manchu state and form a military alliance with said state against China proper if they attacked. Puyi dragged his foot on the issue without giving a concrete answer. Meanwhile the consul-general continued to dissuade Doihara, and a Chinese newspaper in Tientsin called Yishie reported on November 3rd, that Doihara had secretly come to the city and was taking a residence in Tokiwa Hotel. The next day the same newspaper confirmed that Doihara had come to the city for a few days. Under stress, Doihara resorted to a very Doihara scheme. He sent Puyi a bomb in a basket of fruit with a threatening letter allegedly from the Iron Blood Group. He also planned a riot. Doihara hunted down 2000 Chinese, bandits, triads, soldiers, hooligans, drug addicts and such. He used the foreign concession as a HQ and began issuing the men weapons procured from Itagaki. They were going to be unleashed on November 8th and they would attack targets such as the Hebei Provincial Government building, the Public Security Bureau and a police station near the Jingang Bridge. Allegedly each man was paid 40 Mexican dollars by their Japanese agents. The rioters would be colloquially known as the plainclothes members, as they were dressed in civilian attire. One of their members, a man named Ma Longting who was later captured by Chinese authorities, under interrogation stated they had received arms from the “International Apartments” ie: Japanese officials at the concession and likewise received training from the Japanese. "My detachment was located at No. 5 Yuqingli in the Japanese Concession. The detachments were stationed in the International Apartments and Huazhong Apartments. We received guns from the International Apartments. The first detachment received 20 pistols; the second detachment received 25 pistols; the third and fourth detachments each received 20 pistols. Each gun had 100 bullets. The meal allowance for each person was 1 yuan, 60 cents, or 40 cents a day. I received a total of 5,000 yuan (the currency at the time). After receiving the guns, the detachments were divided into Zhongyuan Company, Weishengchi, Laojiuzhang, and Luzhuangzi to deploy defenses in order to attack the Chinese area. The Japanese followed with guns to supervise us. When we reached the Sino-Japanese border, the Japanese retreated and put up an electric fence. We were caught in a dilemma and were captured." Another captured plainclothes member, named Zhang Jinhai gave his life story and involvement during interrogations. He had lived in a small house at Taikoo Wharf in Tanggu. He made a living unloading cargo from ships, earning roughly 20 cents a day. A man had approached him to asking if he would take up a job as a plainclothes. He agreed and went through intense training under Japanese officers every day and was paid 20 cents per day. At 1pm one day, he alongside 7 other members each carrying a pistol, boarded a train for Tientsin. There they were to assemble at QianDezhuang for further information. However before he could do so he was captured at East Station near the East floating bridge. The riots were done by two separate plainclothes teams who were manipulated and supported by Japan. The first rioted from the evening of November 8th to noon of the 20th, the second from the 26th to the 30th. On the night of the 8th, the Japanese garrison HQ ordered a large number of plainclothes to depart the Japanese concession to suddenly and violently attack the Chinese government offices. This was intentionally done during a time period in which there was meeting with the League of Nations on the 12th. Therefore obviously the Japanese were eager to make it seem Chinese hooligans, such as the notorious Green or Red Gangs were creating havoc in Tientsin prior to said meeting. The Japanese hoped this would provide an excuse for not having to withdraw their troops in Manchuria as the Kwantung army at this time was attacking the Jinxi area. Many Japanese officers believed the Manchurian army would not resist and simply retreat once the riots broke out. It would mean Tientsin was within their reach and would dramatically alter the North China situation. Wang Shuchang, the chairman of Hebei's provincial government and Zhang Xueming the Mayor of Tientsin and director of its security bureau were informed 3 days prior to the riots from the a Special Agent team of the Public security Bureau that "the Japanese military and consulate stationed in Tianjin have instigated our frustrated military personnel Zhang Bi, Li Jichun , some leaders of the Tianjin Green and Red Gang, and famous bandit leaders Cao Huayang, Xiao Yunfeng, Gao Pengjiu, etc. to organize plainclothes teams to carry out riots." After receiving said report, Wang Shuchang convened a joint meeting of provincial and municipal military, political and security officials to come up with countermeasures. He divided the security police teams into groups and placed them all on high alert, issuing out guns and ammunition. He proclaimed during the meeting "I am a soldier and have the responsibility to defend my territory. If there are riots and disturbances in Tianjin, we must adapt to the circumstances, use a combination of firmness and flexibility, think carefully, and make appropriate plans to resolve them. But I will never be like Zang Shiyi (Zang was the chairman of the Liaoning Provincial Government when Japan attacked Shenyang), a national sinner, and let the elders and brothers of Tianjin scold me for being incompetent." He then slammed the table and adjourned the meeting. Some gangsters and bandits gathered by the Japanese were familiar with the special forces of the Public Security Bureau. They reported that the uprising was initially planned for the evening of the 7th. However, due to the heightened alert and concerns for the young emperor Puyi, the Japanese military camp temporarily informed them to postpone the attack to the evening of November 8th. At that time, the alarm bell at the Japanese military camp in Haiguang Temple rang, signaling the plainclothes team to mobilize. Using Datong Apartment to the west of Zhongyuan Company in the Japanese Concession and Wanguo Apartment on Furong Street as their bases, they advanced toward Machang Road, Caochang Temple, and the fish market area, opening fire on us. Simultaneously, the Japanese Concession had arranged for security at various key intersections, with the Japanese garrison and military police also deploying together. That night, over a thousand volunteers organized by Japanese expatriates in the concession were armed and stationed at important roads. The Japanese military police, believing that the plainclothes team they had organized was merely a mob incapable of fighting, actually fired weapons in the Japanese Concession to rally them. The sounds of gunfire echoed throughout the night. Two hours prior to the plainclothes team's assault, the security team and the Public Security Bureau implemented the strategy devised by Chairman Wang. To manage the ensuing chaos, a temporary curfew was imposed, and all traffic at intersections near the Japanese concession was completely halted. The security teams set up their defenses in accordance with Chairman Wang's directives. He also instructed all officers and soldiers of the Tenth Army to prepare for the defense of Tianjin at a standard readiness level and to brace for a large-scale invasion by Japanese forces landing in Tanggu. Around 10:30, a plainclothes team of approximately 2,000 individuals emerged from the vicinity of Haiguang Temple in the Japanese Concession, following their prearranged plan. The Japanese provided cover and oversight from behind, firing into the Chinese territory. They successfully seized control of six stations in the first district of the Public Security Bureau in Nanshi, close to the Japanese Concession, as well as six stations in the second district at Haiguang Temple, while separately harassing the south gate of Dongmalu. The first captain of the security battalion, Bai Lunbi, and the third captain, Li Yinpo, led the security team and police in a courageous effort to block and repel the attackers step by step. By around noon, the six stations in the first district were reclaimed. However, the plainclothes team continued their assaults on various locations. That night, over ten rioters from the plainclothes team and numerous firearms were captured. Upon inspection, most of the weapons were Japanese-made Type 38 rifles and new guns produced by the Shenyang Arsenal in Northeast China, which had not yet been delivered to us. The riot orchestrated by the plainclothes team, under the guidance and manipulation of the Japanese garrison, transformed the once-thriving Tianjin into a ghost town overnight. Even Asahi Street, typically bustling with activity, was left deserted. Around 1:00 a.m. on November 9, plainclothes teams launched coordinated attacks from various intersections. One group targeted the Public Security Bureau from the northern gate but was unsuccessful due to heightened security. Meanwhile, another plainclothes unit disrupted the South City and assaulted the Second District Six Office, leading to a retreat of the police forces. The Japanese soldiers then took control of the office and raised their flag. In the southeast corner of the city, at Caochang Temple, a fierce battle ensued, ultimately resulting in the defeat of the plainclothes attackers. the Public Security Bureau cavalry and security team sustained some casualties. By 5:00 a.m., despite a night of disturbances and looting, the plainclothes team ultimately failed in their efforts. The Japanese military at Haiguang Temple then resorted to diplomatic tactics, issuing a verbal warning to Wang Shuchang. They claimed that the Chinese security team had attacked the plainclothes group, resulting in injuries and fatalities among Japanese soldiers due to stray bullets, which they argued endangered the lives of overseas Chinese in the Japanese concession. They demanded that the Chinese security team and police withdraw 300 meters by 6 am, threatening to take action otherwise. This unreasonable demand clearly had ulterior motives. Observing that the plainclothes team, supported and directed by the Japanese army at Haiguang Temple, lacked combat capability and that the Japanese army was not directly involved, Wang decided to avoid escalating the situation. He ordered a withdrawal of 300 meters from the blocked entrance to the Japanese concession while maintaining close surveillance. This order was issued and executed at 5:30 am on the 9th. However, the Japanese army violated their promise and fired over 30 cannon rounds at 6:40 am One shell struck an earthen shed of a store about 100 meters east of the Public Security Bureau, while another exploded at the intersection of Sanma Road in Special District 2. Fortunately, due to the cold weather in late autumn, most people were indoors, and the streets were empty, resulting in no casualties. At that moment, the plainclothes team, supported by Japanese artillery, regrouped near the gate area and launched a significant attack against us. However, due to the security team being on high alert and defending valiantly, the plainclothes team ultimately failed. By noon, the gunfire had diminished, but the Chinese area remained deserted, with no pedestrians in the Japanese concession, except for a few Japanese soldiers and residents. At 5 pm, the plainclothes team initiated another harassment operation in the Wandezhuang area outside the South Gate, leading to continued gunfire. After a fierce battle, the attackers retreated. As the evening progressed, the gunfire became less frequent. According to intelligence reports, "The plainclothes team is preparing for a general assault in Tianjin. Wang Shuchang and Mayor Zhang have visited various locations to enforce strict precautions and have also telegraphed General Zhang Xueliang in Beiping." However, it remained calm until late at night on the 9th. On the 9th, 61 plainclothes rioters were apprehended. Ten were shot at the scene, all of whom were leaders involved in looting, arson, and pillaging; 37 were sent to Beiping, and three were killed by the security team. The remaining individuals were taken to the Second Army Headquarters for strict interrogation and subsequently handed over to the military court for prosecution. It was discovered that the headquarters of the plainclothes riot were located in Datong Apartment, Wanguo Apartment, Taipingli, and other sites within the Japanese Concession. Before dawn on the 10th, the plainclothes team hurried from the Japanese concession and Haiguang Temple into the Chinese territory. The most intense fighting erupted around the first district, the six schools, and Nankai Middle School. The sounds of cannon fire and heavy gunfire echoed back and forth. Nankai and the Nanshi area were suddenly shrouded in darkness. Two fully armed Japanese tanks patrolled along the riverbank, instilling fear among the citizens of Tianjin. Early on the 10th, the security team bravely searched for gangsters in the conflict zone. By around 7 am, they had recovered five rifles and 50 rounds of ammunition near Nankai. At 7:45, 26 members of the plainclothes team, along with seven rifles, numerous gray military uniforms, and three flags, were captured in Shengcai Village. Concurrently, five rifles and over 30 bullets were found in a public restroom at the South Gate. Subsequently, the plainclothes team attempted several attacks throughout Tianjin but was thwarted by the security team each time until the 20th. After the Chinese and Japanese sides reached an agreement on restoring Tianjin's status before November 8, the defensive structures in the Chinese area were gradually dismantled, leading to a steady improvement in the situation. Around 3 pm on November 22, Mayor Zhang dispatched representatives Ning Xiangnan, Shen Dijia, Jie Ruchuan, Jia Guofu, along with Japanese leader Goto, staff officer Miura, and translator Yoshida, to conduct a follow-up inspection at Dongmalu after the defenses were removed. The order in the area was commendable, and the defensive installations in the Japanese concession had also been taken down. Both parties expressed satisfaction with the outcome, and all shops in the Japanese concession were open for business. However, at 8:00 pm on November 26, gunfire erupted once more, accompanied by the sounds of machine guns and artillery. Sudden gunshots rang out from Xiguangkai and the White Bone Tower, which appeared to be a covert signal. Machine gun fire was reported in the southeast corner of the city, near the Kawasaki Foreign Company in the Japanese concession, as well as at the gate, Nanguan Xiatou, Haiguang Temple, and other locations. Simultaneously, the booming of mortars echoed throughout the city, plunging it into a state of panic. Japanese officers took direct command of the operations, targeting the Dongfuqiao Public Security Bureau and the Jingangqiao Provincial Government. The artillery was aimed toward Haiguang Temple at the gate. Fortunately, both locations were unoccupied, and the shells fired did not cause any damage. By around 7:00 pm the Japanese had repositioned the electric fences in the Japanese concession, stacked sandbags, and heightened their alertness. Additional infantry police were deployed at key intersections, and the Japanese-organized volunteer army was also mobilized. The gate was in close proximity to the Public Security Bureau at Dongfu Bridge, making the situation particularly tense. The plainclothes team gathered on the main street near the gate, while the Japanese army strictly prohibited pedestrians from passing through. The Mitsui & Co. building, which was tall and faced the Haihe River, allowed access to the Public Security Bureau along the river. The Japanese had also prepared command flags in advance to direct the plainclothes team in an assault on the gate. The situation was quite critical at the southern end of Nanguan Street, particularly at the intersection of Nanshi and China, as well as at the southeast corner of the city. Key locations within the Japanese concession, including Jinshan Pharmacy, Xinming Grand Theater, Zhongyuan Company, the Japanese Public Hospital, Laojiuzhang Silk Shop, Taichang Pawnshop, and Shengdeli Building, were also under tight security. Consequently, this second plainclothes riot was a coordinated effort by the Japanese to undermine public security in Tianjin, aligning with developments in the Northeast, with the ultimate goal of further occupying and seizing Tianjin. On the 27th, a plainclothes unit operating under Japanese command launched a fierce assault on the gate around 1 a.m., retreating only after facing a counterattack from the forces. Beginning on the 28th, the Japanese military significantly increased its troop presence, creating a tense atmosphere that compelled the Tianjin authorities to withdraw their security team back to Hebei and dismantle all fortifications. This allowed the Japanese army to bolster its military presence in Tianjin, although they were unable to gain control of the city. While the plainclothes riots were being planned, Doihara was talking with Puyi. On November 3rd, Doihara met with him at the Jingyuan Garden in Tientsin. In his memoirs Puyi stated Doihara was a Japanese soldier who had made his entire career by invading China. He was 48 years old when they were speaking and the muscles around his eyes showed signs of relaxation. He had a small mustache and his face was always gentle and he acted very respectfully. His smile always gave the impression that everything he said was unreliable however. "He asked about my health and then got down to business. He first explained that the Japanese army's actions were only aimed at Zhang Xueliang, saying that Zhang Xueliang "made Manchuria miserable, and the rights, lives and property of the Japanese could not be guaranteed, so Japan had no choice but to send troops. He said that the Kwantung Army had no territorial ambitions for Manchuria, but only "sincerely wanted to help the Manchurian people and build their own new country. He hoped that I would not miss this opportunity and return to the birthplace of my ancestors soon to lead this country in person; Japan would sign an offensive and defensive alliance with this country, and its sovereign territory would be fully protected by Japan; as the head of this country, I could do everything on my own.” Puyi was extremely weary of the entire thing. Here is a transcript of some of their conversation as told to us through the memories of Puyi: I still had a very important question in my mind, so I asked: “What kind of country is this new country?” "I have already said that it is independent and autonomous, and the Emperor Xuantong has the final say." "That's not what I'm asking. I want to know whether this country is a republic or a monarchy? Is it an empire?" "These problems can be solved in Shenyang." "No," I insisted, "if it is a restoration, I will go, otherwise I will not go." He smiled and said in the same tone: "Of course it is the Empire, there is no problem with that." "If it's the Empire, I can go!" I expressed my satisfaction. "Then please ask the Emperor Xuantong to leave as soon as possible, and arrive in Manchuria before the 16th. We will discuss the details when we arrive in Shenyang. Yoshida will arrange the departure." Afterwards Doihara congratulated Puyi on his safe journey, bowing respectfully to him. After Doihara left, Puyi met with Jin Liang who had come with Doihara. He brought further news from Manchurian veterans led by Yuan Jinkai, stating they could call upon the old Northeast Army to surrender. After enduring various forms of coercion, inducement, threats, and intimidation, Puyi was concealed in the trunk of a two-seater saloon car on the evening of November 10, just three days following the Tientsin Incident. As planned, he was driven out of Jingyuan. With the covert protection of the Japanese secret service, he changed into Japanese military attire and then took a vehicle from the Japanese military headquarters. He reached the British Concession Pier without any obstacles and boarded a small, unlit motorboat. Subsequently, he quickly fled to Dagukou under the escort of more than ten Japanese soldiers. He was then promptly transferred to the Japanese merchant ship "Awaji Maru," arriving at the Manchurian Railway Pier in Yingkou City on the 13th. On November 18, the Kwantung Army moved Puyi to the Dahe Hotel in Lushun, where he was closely "protected." Later on March 1, 1932, under the direction of the Kwantung Army, the puppet state of Manchukuo was officially declared "established." Puyi assumed the role of "ruler" of this puppet regime on March 9th. Two years later, his title was changed to "emperor." At this point, the Japanese invaders had successfully achieved their objective of holding Puyi hostage and establishing the puppet Manchukuo regime. Despite the Chinese army's efforts to quell the plainclothes riot, Japan seized upon the pretext of "endangering the lives of Japanese expatriates in the Japanese concession" to insist that the Chinese security forces withdraw 300 meters from the border of the concession. They threatened to take unilateral action if their demands were not met. On the 15th, during negotiations, the Northeast Army authorities conceded to Japan's unreasonable requests. Nevertheless, Japan proceeded to bombard the Hebei Provincial and Municipal Government buildings and the police station with artillery. Following the suppression of the second plainclothes riot, the Japanese, feeling humiliated by their foiled plans, sought new excuses and made further unreasonable demands. They insisted that the Chinese army withdraw from Tientsin and that the local populace refrain from anti-Japanese activities. Concurrently, they deployed additional troops to Tientsin, using intimidation tactics against the Chinese. The Nationalist government ultimately acquiesced to Japan's demands, ordering the security team, primarily made up of the Northeast Army, to retreat to what is now the Hebei District on November 29th. As the soldiers withdrew from their positions, tears were shed, and onlookers mourned their departure. Beginning December 1st, streets in the Japanese concession were illuminated, and Japanese merchants displayed flags to celebrate their perceived victory. They even coerced Chinese residents into hanging Japanese flags under threat of imprisonment. The contrast was stark between the Tientsin Security Team's defeat, which felt like a loss without actual defeat, and the Japanese invaders' hollow victory. Several Chinese soldiers who distinguished themselves in the fight against the invasion were reassigned from Tientsin. Despite failing in the riot, the Japanese successfully executed their plan to secretly extract Puyi from Tianjin and compelled the Chinese army to withdraw. This paved the way for a series of conspiratorial events, including the "Chadong Incident," "Hebei Incident," and "Zhangbei Incident." Ultimately, these actions led to their proposals for "North China Autonomy" and the "July 7 Marco Polo Bridge Incident," marking a gradual realization of their ambitions to invade China.

And thus our dear old friend Doihara performed yet another scheme to push forward with the Japanese invasion of China. Its sad to say it won't be his last. The invasion of Manchuria was coming to a swift end and soon a new puppet state would take hold, but would Japan stop with the northeast?

Jason and Derek drive and discuss the legendary Lancia Stratos – its origins, its parts-bin interior, and its unhinged handling. === Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === On today's episode, things start off by looking at commenters' nominations for elegant mid-engine cars. Most are promptly rejected, but a handful give the Carmudgeons pause: the De Tomaso P72, McLaren Speedtail, Jaguar XJ220, Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, and Ferrari 296. And two previously overlooked but notably elegant exceptions are: the Ferrari 246 Dino and the first-generation Toyota Previa. Afterwards, it's all things Stratos – starting with Jason's and Derek's driving impressions. They discuss the handling characteristics of this mind-bendingly miniature, Ferrari-engined, rally missile. Thanks to its short, upward-swept overhangs and relatively massive suspension travel, it can traverse rough terrain with ease (including massive potholes and steep driveways), setting it apart from your average sports car experience. But, like a fighter jet, it sacrifices stability in favor of maximum maneuverability. They also cover its diminutive size (the Stratos is 2 feet shorter than a Mk8 VW Golf!) and its parts-bin interior – including the trunk release it shares with the Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari 308 GT4, exterior door handle from the Fiat X1/9, and interior door pull from the Miura (among others). Not to mention its paper-thin fiberglass “firewall,” and very unique hinged side windows. Later on, discussions move to the origins of the car. From the philandering nature of mid-century Italian design houses like Pininfarina and Bertone, which seemed to take turns designing Italy's newest models at the time. Things like the Fiat Dino Coupe and Spider, and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint and Sprint Speciale (not to mention the wild Stratos Zero concept by Marcello Gandini that became the wedge-shaped Stratos) – plus the dubious last-second rally homologation of the Stratos. Lancia's little wedge would go on to race all across the world; from the Acropolis Rally in Greece, to the East African Safari Rally in Kenya, to the Press-on-Regardless Rally in Michigan. The Stratos, which replaced Lancia's too-fragile Fulvia, would prove itself plenty rugged and become a wildly successful rally car (but a total sales flop). Lancia's parent company, Fiat, wanted it out in favor of its new 131, but the Stratos' WRC wins continued thanks to privateers all the way up until the 1980s, when it was finally replaced by the 037. The Stratos Stradale, a car you could buy 50 years ago for the price of a mildly-luxurious contemporary GT like the Alfa Romeo Montreal – now goes for several hundreds of thousands of dollars. Probably one of the highest dollar-per-sq/ft ratios in the automotive world – start saving! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Mis buenos amigos de Planeta DeAgostini… ¿cómo podían saber que el 330 es mi Ferrari favorito? Estoy enamorado de este coche. Este podcast lo hacemos con la ayuda de Planeta DeAgostini, que nos va a ofrecer a todos los aficionados una maqueta, con la calidad con la que ellos son capaces de hacerlo, del Ferrari 330/4… ¿Qué no conoces este coche? ¡Pero si se le considera el coche de carreras más bello de todos los tiempos! Con un motor central V12 de 4 litros y 450 CV… es-pec-ta-cu-lar. Y esta maqueta cuenta con dos características muy especiales: Primera: Su fidelidad… ¡con licencia oficial Ferrari! O lo que es lo mismo, con los planos de Ferrari… es simplemente perfecta. Solo te digo una cosa: Mira las imágenes del motor. Segunda: Además de perfecta, es… ¡enorme! De escala 1:8 a lo que es lo mismo, ¡medio metro de largo!… ya he preparado en el salón de mi casa un hueco para esta maravilla. Y añadiría una más, porque Planeta DeAgostini sabe hacer estas cosas: No te asustes, si sigues las instrucciones que vienen con las piezas, no es complicado de construir… es más, ¡lo vas a disfrutar! Por ser de seguidor de Garaje hermético tienes ventajas… Aquí tienes todos los datos: https://bit.ly/Ferrari330Garaje usa el código GARAJEHERMETICO y te aplicarán un precio especial. ¡Hoy vamos a olvidarnos de SUV, híbridos, eléctricos, de coches sin personalidad y de temas sesudos! ¡Vamos a divertirnos! Uno de vosotros me propuso un reto: Hacer un listado con los 10 mejores deportivos de la historia… ¡menudo desafío! Pero en GH… ¡nos atrevemos con todo! Hay tantas listas de “Los 10 mejores deportivos de la historia” como aficionados, porque cada uno tiene sus preferencias… os traspaso un reto: ¿Y si hacemos una lista con vuestras preferencias? 1. BMW M3 (1986). El M3 marcó un antes y un después en el mundo de los deportivos y sobre todo en BMW, pues fue el pistoletazo de salida de la división M. 2. Ferrari F40 (1987). Tras el desgraciado fallecimiento del “Commendatore” el 14 de agosto de 1988, lo tuve claro: El F40 era el mejor deportivo del momento, sería uno de los mejores deportivos de la historia y se convertiría en un mito. 3. Honda NSX (1990). Como un Ferrari… pero mejor y utilizable para el día a día. Este coche lo he podido probar muchas veces, usarlo a diario y viajar con él. 4. Jaguar E (1961). Seamos sinceros: La mayor cualidad del Jaguar E es su estética, en especial en su versión descapotable, para mí el “verdadero” Jaguar E. Esa es la virtud que ha prevalecido con el paso del tiempo, en especial desde que Enzo Ferrari dijo aquello de que el Jaguar E era “el coche más hermoso jamás fabricado”. 5. Lamborghini Miura (1966). Yo no soy Enzo Ferrari, pero como sobre gustos no hay nada escrito, me atrevo a contradecirle: Para mí el deportivo más bonito de la historia es el Miura, considerado además como el primer superdeportivo de la historia… y el segundo modelo lanzado por la marca. 6. Lancia Stratos (1973). ¡Otro diseño del Gandini! ¡Qué grande! En Rallyes, su dominio fue aplastante y se fabricaron solo 492 unidades… muchas de ellas acabaron su vida destruida en algún rallye. 7. Lotus Super Seven (1957). El Seven y Super Seven los los Lotus que mejor se adecuan a la filosofía de su creador Colin Chapman cuando decía aquello de “prefiero que me quites un kilo a que me des un caballo”. 8. McLaren F1 (1992). Lo que hace que este coche esté en esta lista es de algún modo lo mismo que al F40: Era un coche de competición que se podía matricular y circular por la calle. Se dice que a Gordon Murray se le ocurrió la idea esperando en un avión y luego pensó… “¿por qué no?”. 9. Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (1954). ¡Solo por las puertas merece estar aquí! Y eso que estas puertas que le dieron el nombre de “Gullwing” o “Alas de gaviota” se hicieron así por pura serendipia… 10. Porsche 911 (1964). No soy especialmente fan del 911 pero… ¡cómo no iba a estar aquí el deportivo por excelencia! Lo tiene todo, una historia bonita, éxito en competición, versiones muy especiales como el primer turbo y, sobre todo, se sigue fabricando en la actualidad, muy evolucionado, pero conservando el rasgo del motor posterior. Conclusión. No están todos los que son, pero son todos los que están. Y hay otra conclusión: Realmente, este podcast necesita una segunda parte… ¿no os parece?
Pablo Arias, físico, nos trae hoy en su sección sobre historia y ciencia a la empresa española que está haciendo historia en la astronáutica mundial, PLD Space. Después del exitoso lanzamiento del Miura 1, están volcados en otros proyectos extraordinarios que pronto verán la luz.

We're getting ready for our upcoming Gift Guide episode and we would love to hear from you! What's on your list this year? Let us know!
