Last time we spoke about the Miluo River Catastrophe. On September 17, General Xue Yue, watching alarming reconnaissance telegrams, learns the Japanese 11th Army has massed across the north bank of the Xinqiang River—3rd, 4th, 6th, and 40th Divisions—alongside additional detachments. Chinese operatives even intercept a Japanese order directing divisions to prepare for an attack on September 18. Despite this, Xue Yue's decisions and readiness remain inadequate. By September 21–23, the fighting at and around the Miluo River and Dongting Lake destroys the 37th Army's ability to function as a coherent combat force. The disaster as both tactical collapse and a failure of planning: Japanese interception and decoding of radio orders allow them to shift toward encirclement, turning Chinese movements into a "trap" laid in advance.   #211 The Japanese Blunt China's Iron Army at Changsha 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. The four divisions that had stormed into northern Hunan had made good progress, achieving the victory of defeating three main Chinese armies in quick succession. General Anami Korechika, commanding the Japanese forces, was secretly pleased, but he dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest. He was a methodical man, and he understood that the contest was not yet decided. Every day, his intelligence officers placed before him a stream of intercepted Chinese military telegrams and aerial reconnaissance reports. What they showed gave him reason for both confidence and caution. Two significant forces were moving toward the battlefield — forces unlike those he had so far encountered. One of them was Chiang Kai-shek's elite 74th Army, a formation whose reputation had reached Anami long before, from his time at headquarters in Tokyo. The other was the 10th Army, considered second only to the 74th in quality and fighting spirit.   The 74th Army was no ordinary unit. It had been rigorously trained under German and Soviet instructors specially hired by Chiang Kai-shek, its officers schooled in both European combined-arms doctrine and Soviet tactical flexibility. It was characterized by its disciplined offensive and defensive tactics and was lavishly equipped by the standards of the Chinese military. Most remarkably, it had maintained an undefeated record on the battlefield since the beginning of the war — a distinction that had earned it the title of "Iron Army of the Anti-Japanese War" among the Chinese people. In the high command of the Imperial Japanese Army, it was referred to, with a mixture of respect and wariness, as the Tora no Ko — the "Tiger Child" — meaning, in essence, the ace in the enemy's hand.   The 10th Army was held in nearly equal esteem. The deployment of either of these two formations required the personal approval of Chiang Kai-shek himself. The Generalissimo's principle for employing them was clear and deliberate: they were to be committed only to the most critical battles, those that would decide outcomes, or to the most prominent ones, where their prowess could demonstrate the might of the Chinese army to a watching nation. Since the outbreak of the war, the 74th Army had been kept in reserve at Fenyi in Jiangxi Province, and the 10th Army at Hengyang in southern Hunan. Both forces had been conserving their strength, training, and waiting.   Now Anami's relentless offensive had forced Chiang Kai-shek's hand. The battle situation had tilted dangerously under the weight of Japanese pressure, and the fall of several elite units had left the Chinese commander of the Ninth War Zone, General Xue Yue, with little room to maneuver. Xue Yue had no choice but to appeal to Chongqing for help, and Chiang Kai-shek, reluctantly and with full awareness of the risks, agreed to release his two trump cards. Anami, having mastered his opponent's intentions through his intelligence apparatus, now found himself in the rare and advantageous position of a card player who could see his opponent's hole cards. He carefully planned his battle strategy, studying maps late into the night, conferring with his officers, and calculating how best to neutralize the Chinese elite before they could bring their full weight to bear. He knew that his life's honor, his career, and his legacy rested on this one gamble.   Li Yutang, the commander of the 10th Army, was from Guangrao in Shandong Province — a place that had given China more than its share of fighting men. He was a graduate of the first class of the illustrious Whampoa Military Academy, where he had trained alongside men who would go on to shape the fate of China. At the academy, he had been part of a celebrated group known informally as the "Four Lis of Shandong": himself, Li Xianzhou, Li Yannian, and Li Hanfan. The first three would all rise to significant commands in the Nationalist army. The fourth, Li Hanfan, a native of Changqing in Shandong, had taken an entirely different path, joining the Communist Party of China and fighting the same war under a different flag. In later years, the group became known as the "Three Lis of Shandong," the fourth having parted ways with his classmates long before the guns fell silent.   Li Yutang had not risen quickly or through privilege. He embodied the hardworking, resilient, and tenacious qualities long associated with the men of Shandong — qualities forged by a hard land and harder circumstances. He had climbed the ranks of the army step by step: platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regimental commander. Each step had been earned through performance under fire. When Japan launched its full-scale invasion in 1937, Li Yutang was serving as commander of the 3rd Division of the 2nd Army under Li Yannian, participating in the brutal Battle of Shanghai in August of that year. He fought in the grinding urban warfare along the Suzhou Creek, learning lessons in modern combat that would serve him for the rest of the war. The following spring, in March and April of 1938, he led his troops in the Battle of Xuzhou, holding the Linyi line northeast of Taierzhuang, blocking the Japanese 5th Division under Itagaki Seishiro from breaking through to reinforce the embattled Japanese forces at that critical engagement. His handling of the defense contributed to one of the few early Chinese battlefield successes of the war.   For his performance at Xuzhou, he was promoted to commander of the 8th Army. During the Battle of Wuhan in 1938, he led his troops in major engagements against the Japanese 101st and 106th Divisions along the Nanxun Railway, inflicting significant casualties on the attackers. After that campaign, General Xue Yue, recognizing both Li's talent and his Shandong origins — Shandong being home to Mount Tai, the foremost of China's Five Sacred Mountains — personally inscribed a banner reading "Mount Tai Army" and formally presented it to Li Yutang's 8th Army. Chiang Kai-shek added his own recognition, awarding Li Huazhou a medal. In the Battle of Nanchang, Li Yutang again distinguished himself, leading his troops in the defense of Wuning for ten days and ten nights of uninterrupted fighting. When the battle was over, Japanese soldiers lay piled in front of his defensive lines, and the name "Taishan Army" was on every officer's lips from Chongqing to the front. After the First Battle of Changsha in 1939, Chiang Kai-shek personally nominated Li Yutang to take command of the 10th Army — the posting that would now define his legacy. The orders came on September 20, 1941 — three days after the Japanese forces had broken through the Xiangbei defense line in the north. General Xue Yue's summons reached Li Yutang's headquarters in Hengyang, and the 10th Army began immediate preparations for movement to the battlefield.   The mobilization was extraordinary even by the standards of an army that prided itself on discipline and fighting spirit. Li Yutang addressed his men, and the response was unlike anything a commander might ordinarily expect. He received wave after wave of letters — requests to be placed at the front, declarations of determination, pledges to die before surrendering. Some of the letters were written in ordinary ink. Others had been written in blood, the soldier biting his own finger to draw enough for a few lines. These were not men who needed to be driven to battle. They were men who had spent months training for precisely this moment.   Their preparation had been rigorous to the point of fanaticism. For six months before the order came, the 10th Army had conducted intensive training in the three core skills of infantry combat: marksmanship, grenade throwing, and bayonet fighting. The Ministry of National Defense had set a standard that considered a unit successful if one quarter of its men scored "top-tier" in each category. Chiang Kai-shek had personally raised the bar for the 10th Army: eighty percent of every unit must score "top-tier," with the remainder no lower than "excellent." Any unit falling short would face elimination. When the assessments were completed, the result was unambiguous — one hundred percent of the army had met the standard.   Over 30,000 men boarded seven special trains at Hengyang, their military songs and mobilization slogans ringing through the station as families and bystanders watched them depart. The troops traveled by train to Zhuzhou, then transferred to motor vehicles for the road north to Changsha, arriving in the Jinjing area — some seventy kilometers northeast of the city — on September 22nd. They had moved with professional speed. What awaited them would test something no training exercise could fully replicate. From the moment of arrival, the situation was clear to any officer with eyes: the 10th Army had stepped into chaos. However, given the already established passive situation, the 10th Army was like a leaf caught in a whirlpool as soon as it arrived on the battlefield. General Xue Yue, at the Ninth War Zone Command, immediately ordered the entire army to support the besieged 37th Army and simultaneously launch an offensive against the Japanese 3rd Division. It was an ambitious order for troops who had just completed a multi-day journey and had not yet oriented themselves to the ground. Nevertheless, Li Yutang passed the order down and his divisions began to move.   The first division to feel the dislocating effect of high command's demands was Zhu Yue's 190th Division. On September 23rd, the vanguard regiment of the 190th made contact with Japanese forces and was preparing to engage. Before a single shot was fired in earnest, Division Commander Zhu Yue received a telegram from army headquarters ordering him to abandon his current position and rush immediately to Shending Mountain to relieve the siege of the 140th Division of the 37th Army. The order brooked no delay. The troops dropped their baggage where it lay and ran — truly ran, in light order — to the vicinity of Shending Mountain.   They had barely formed ranks at their new position when a second telegram arrived from General Xue Yue. The 190th Division was to immediately reverse course and return to the Fulipu area to establish a defensive line and block the Japanese advance southward. Another forced march, exhausting men who had already marched and traveled for days. They arrived at the designated position on time — a testimony to their conditioning — and Zhu Yue established his division headquarters at Liangjiaduan, near Fulipu. After all the aimless marching and countermanding orders, after all the wasted energy and fruitless attempts, the troops were running on the last of their reserves. They worked through the night constructing fortifications with shovels and bare hands. Just as the first light of dawn revealed the outline of their new positions, the Japanese army advanced.   General Toyoshima Fusataro's Japanese 3rd Division had not rested. It had decisively defeated the 37th Army on the night of the 23rd and turned immediately, without pause, to attack the 190th Division. The blow came from the sky before it came from the ground. At dawn, more than ten Japanese planes swept down over Zhu Yue's division headquarters — seemingly guided, as the Chinese soldiers would later say, as if they had eyes in their heads, so accurate was the targeting. The small village that housed the headquarters was bombed almost to the ground. Dust and smoke billowed over the ruins as the aircraft banked away, and before it had settled, over a thousand Japanese infantrymen, seemingly springing from the earth itself, rushed forward directly toward the headquarters position. The regiment commanders, still at their positions elsewhere, could not be recalled in time.   Division Commander Zhu Yue did not hesitate. He drew his pistol and began commanding his subordinate units to fight back, rallying the headquarters staff and support troops into a perimeter defense. Under the fierce and accurate Japanese fire, Zhu Yue was hit by a bullet in his right arm. Then another round struck him in the left leg, and he went down. Almost simultaneously, Deputy Division Commander Lai Shixiang took command of the nearest available men and attempted to lead a breakout with a machine gun. An enemy mortar round found its mark, and Lai Shixiang was killed instantly. The division headquarters personnel, already shocked by the swiftness of the attack and the wounding of their commander, broke into disorder. Chaos erupted on the battlefield. Many soldiers ran blindly in the smoke and confusion, dying in the crossfire from multiple directions.   Division Chief of Staff Tao Xiu, now acting as deputy division commander with Zhu Yue incapacitated, took hold of the situation as best he could. He led the remnants of the headquarters staff in retreat toward a hollow in a grove of trees near the edge of the village. When the headcount was taken, approximately twenty men remained capable of fighting. It was already ten o'clock in the morning. Tao Xiu gathered these few men and led them along a small path through the dense forest on the outskirts of the village, bypassing Liangjiaduan, searching for the dispersed units of the division.   Out on the main positions, the 568th, 569th, and 570th Regiments were simultaneously surrounded and attacked. The officers and soldiers, exhausted from days and nights of continuous fighting, summoned what remained of their endurance and put up a tenacious resistance. From dawn until the afternoon, several positions were cut off and divided by Japanese encircling movements. In the ever-shrinking pockets, each cluster of defenders became an isolated target for enemy aircraft and artillery. Completely losing the initiative, groups of officers and soldiers perished in the shelling. Many of them died not in defiance but in something closer to despair — regretting this humiliating reversal, the waste of their patriotic aspirations, their unfulfilled desire to fight and kill the enemy on their own terms.   By evening, the regimental commanders had lost control of their respective battalions and companies. The remaining soldiers on each position scattered and concealed themselves in whatever ground offered cover, hiding in all directions across the darkening hills. It was not until midnight that the lightly wounded and unwounded officers and soldiers managed to assemble, as the contingency plan had directed, in a dense forest on the southwest side of the position. Division Commander Zhu Yue, wounded in both his arm and his leg, had been sent to the rear to receive treatment. Acting Deputy Division Commander Tao Xiu stood before the assembled survivors — more than two hundred men gathered from the regiments — and offered them quiet words of comfort. There was little else he could give them. The people present carried the seriously wounded on improvised stretchers and supported the lightly wounded with their arms and shoulders, groping their way through the darkness toward Zhuzhou. The 10th Reserve Division, under Commander Fang Xianjue, had been assigned to hold the Jinjing line — a position that, on paper, formed an anchor of the defensive scheme. In practice, the situation was deeply flawed from the outset. The Ninth War Zone Command had placed the 10th Reserve Division alone at Jinjing with no depth behind it and no friendly forces on either flank — an isolated salient that offered the Japanese every opportunity for encirclement.   On the 23rd, the division captured the Kanai line at noon, an initial success that promised more than it delivered. Around six o'clock in the evening, as darkness gathered, General Kanda Masatsuka arrived at the front with the vanguard of the Japanese 6th Division. He was not a man to move without information. Before committing to a full assault, Kanda ordered a probing attack and watched its progress carefully through binoculars from a small hill behind the advancing force. What he saw gave him pause. However he searched for a weak point in the Chinese line, the defenders showed none. No gap in the wire, no position carelessly manned, no sector that sagged under pressure. Kanda lowered his binoculars and considered his next step. He felt this was indeed an elite unit with excellent tactical skills, and should not be underestimated. He ordered a halt to the attack and waited for the full arrival of his division's strength.   On the morning of the 24th, the Japanese launched their proper assault — a fierce attack from the east, north, and west simultaneously. The three-directional pressure was designed to pin the defenders and deny any lateral reinforcement. Kanda went further, requesting permission from General Anami to concentrate all thirty-plus bombers available for the entire battlefield and direct them at the 10th Reserve Division's positions in a single concentrated raid. Anami granted the request. The bombing was devastating. The defending positions were almost completely destroyed from the air. Yet in the ruins of their fortifications and bunkers, the soldiers of the 10th Reserve Division continued fighting, repelling Japanese ground attacks wave after wave through the rubble and the smoke.   At two o'clock in the afternoon, a report reached Fang Xianjue that halted him in his tracks. A Japanese regiment had executed a large-scale outflanking maneuver around the south side of Jinjing and was approaching the rear of the position. The encirclement was closing. Fang Xianjue was shocked. He now grasped in full the tactical impossibility of his assignment. The Ninth War Zone Command had placed the 10th Reserve Division here alone, exposed on all sides, without depth and without support. The order to "block the enemy's southward advance" had been an empty promise from the start. Fang Xianjue could not understand the strategic intention behind the deployment at all — there was none that made any tactical sense. The only purpose of holding out here, he concluded bitterly, was to theoretically be seen to be "fighting the Japanese." Before Fang Xianjue could translate his analysis into a decision, the Japanese troops launched another fierce attack from the front and both flanks, and one side of the defensive line was breached. The situation became critical. Fang Xianjue decided to withdraw before the encircling force to the south could complete its movement and seal off all escape. He did not have time to seek authorization from the war zone — there was no time. He ordered each regiment to organize its own breakout and reassemble at designated locations.   At four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Xianjue led the division headquarters in the first withdrawal from the battlefield. Looking back as he departed, he watched as the regiments were cut apart by Japanese fire, large numbers of officers and soldiers falling among the mountain ridges and into the ditches and gullies. There was nothing more he could do for them.   By the 25th, approximately half of the division's troops had reached the designated reception point. After a hasty reorganization, they were ordered to occupy positions along the Xueshi Bridge line and prepare to resume the defense. That same evening, a portion of the Japanese 3rd Division — fresh from its defeat of the 190th Division — launched a fierce attack on Xueshi Bridge. The positions could not be held. The scene of the previous day's rout was repeated almost exactly, and this second defeat completed the destruction of the 10th Reserve Division as a coherent fighting force. General Xue Yue's rebuke reached Fang Xianjue shortly afterward, and the division commander had no way to express the depth of his frustration — the tactical position he had been placed in had made his assignment impossible before the first shot was fired. On the 26th, he led the surviving troops to be received and reorganized by war zone units near Changsha. Compared to the bitter fates of the 190th Division and the 10th Reserve Division, Zhou Qingxiang's 3rd Division wrote a different kind of story in these same days — one of extraordinary tactical competence maintained against mounting odds. In the equally fierce battles, the 3rd Division demonstrated the qualities of an elite force more effectively than any other unit on either side.   On the 22nd, the 3rd Division had been ordered to establish positions two kilometers east of Fulipu. At noon on the 24th, after the Japanese 3rd Division defeated Zhu Yue's 190th Division, a portion of the Japanese force turned and attacked the right flank of Zhou Qingxiang's position. It was repelled. That evening, the Japanese 4th Division, riding the momentum of its success against the 37th Army, launched a night attack on the 3rd Division's left flank. It too was repelled. On the 25th, Zhou Qingxiang's division was attacked from both sides simultaneously by the main forces of two Japanese divisions — forces that outnumbered the defenders several times over. The officers and soldiers of the entire division showed no fear. They fought bravely and with skill honed by months of intensive preparation, holding their lines despite heavy casualties and preventing the Japanese from breaking through at any point.   When word of this resistance was relayed to General Anami Korechika at his headquarters, he fell into a long, uncharacteristic silence. He studied the reports before him, the maps, the casualty tallies on both sides. Then he turned to his chief of staff, General Isamu Kinoshita. "This is the elite force," Anami said quietly. He paused a moment, and added: "I really want to go there and see for myself." The compliment, delivered in the private setting of a Japanese headquarters, was perhaps the most honest assessment of the fighting quality of Zhou Qingxiang's men that history has preserved.   Anami's response, however, was not admiration — it was determination to overwhelm. On the morning of the 26th, he concentrated nearly the entire combat power available to him against the single 3rd Division: units drawn from the Japanese 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 40th Divisions — close to 100,000 men — were directed to surround and destroy the Chinese formation. The 3rd Division stubbornly held its ground despite catastrophic casualties, the soldiers refusing to give way even as the perimeter contracted and the dead accumulated.   To ease the relentless pressure from enemy aircraft, the division commanders made a calculated decision: all positions were ordered to allow the Japanese troops to close to hand-to-hand fighting range. If the enemy was within arm's reach, the bombers above could not strike without killing their own men. Several instances of fierce hand-to-hand fighting erupted across the defensive line as a result — bayonets, shovels, pistols and bare hands in the broken earth and shell craters. By noon, the 8th Regiment had been divided and surrounded. Shortly afterward, the 7th and 9th Regiments met the same fate. Zhou Qingxiang moved the division headquarters to the position of the 7th Regiment to maintain command over his most accessible unit, while the deputy division commander and chief of staff were dispatched to coordinate the independent defense of the 8th and 9th Regiments respectively. For another half day, each of the three regimental pockets fought alone. At dusk, Zhou Qingxiang ordered a breakout.   As darkness fell, exploiting the brief respite that came when the Japanese halted their attacks for the night, each regiment burst simultaneously from its position. Carefully prepared covering detachments remained behind and created convincing feints toward false breakout directions, drawing the enemy's main pursuit forces away from the actual withdrawal routes. The deceptions worked. By the time the Japanese commanders understood what had happened, the breakout had succeeded. Officers and soldiers filtered into the designated reception point in small groups — three men here, five there — arriving through the night and into the following morning. When the count was complete, the 3rd Division was a remnant of less than one-fifth of its pre-battle strength. The finest infantry division in the 10th Army had bled itself almost dry, but it had done so on its own terms, and it had extracted as much as it was possible to extract from an impossible situation.   On September 27th, a chilly autumn wind blew across the city of Changsha. At the playground of Lizhong Middle School in the eastern part of the city, Li Yutang stood and watched the survivors of his divisions come in. A week before, on September 20th, more than 30,000 men had departed Hengyang aboard seven special trains. Their military songs had filled the railway station. Their letters of determination, some written in blood, had been stacked on Li Yutang's desk. Their training scores were the highest ever recorded for a Chinese army unit — a perfect one hundred percent of "top-tier" achievement across all three infantry skills. They had been, by every measurable standard, the finest army China could produce.   Standing now at the playground of a secondary school repurposed as a muster point, Li Yutang looked at what remained: a little over 2,000 men, including lightly wounded soldiers from Changsha who had been caught up in the fighting and bandaged civilians who had taken up arms. Two thousand, from thirty thousand. What had happened to the others? They were dead. They were injured. They were maimed. Some had broken under the pressure and run. The accounting was simple and devastating. Li Yutang's expression remained dignified as he inspected his survivors — the face of a commander who understood that bearing is required of officers precisely in the moments when bearing costs the most. But his heart was filled with tears. Perhaps soon, he reflected, there would be another 10th Army — still heroic and spirited, still singing loudly as it went to war. But it would not be the same one.   History has no gaps or blank pages. The story of the 10th Army's ordeal was barely complete before the next chapter began. Reluctantly, one must turn the page. Following the 10th Army, Wang Yaowu's 74th Army also suffered a crushing defeat. Wang Yaowu had received his orders from Commander Xue on September 21st and had immediately begun moving his three divisions from their cantonments at Fenyi and Xinyu in Jiangxi Province. The 74th Army was composed of three divisions: the 51st Division under Li Tianxia, the 57th Division under Yu Chengwan, and the 58th Division under Liao Lingqi. These were the formations that had kept the "Iron Army" undefeated through four years of brutal warfare. Their code names told their own story — the 51st Division was called "Frontline," the 57th was called "Tiger Warrior," and the 58th was called "Exhilarating." Wang Yaowu had personally chosen the code name for the army headquarters: "Brilliant." Chiang Kai-shek himself had once remarked, "Of all the code names, yours is the best." It was a small distinction, but one that Wang Yaowu quietly cherished.   What Wang Yaowu did not know — could not know, for Anami's intelligence network had kept the preparation perfectly concealed — was that Anami Korechika had been monitoring his movements since the order to deploy was first issued. The Japanese commander had already selected the terrain, positioned his units, and laid the trap. He was waiting for the 74th Army's arrival.   On the 25th, Wang Yaowu led the 57th Division into the battlefield first, marching rapidly as Xue Yue had directed to Chunhua Mountain on the north bank of the Laodao River, east of Changsha, to occupy positions and cover the main force's deployment. On the evening of the 25th, the 169th and 170th Regiments of the 57th Division arrived at the south side of Chunhua Mountain and encountered a Japanese search party of over a hundred men. The 169th Regiment swiftly cut off the small force's escape route, coordinating effectively with the 170th. The Japanese detachment suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors fled toward Chunhua Mountain. When part of the 170th Regiment reached the foot of the mountain, they ran into a much larger Japanese force coming down to meet them — and learned in that moment that Chunhua Mountain had already been occupied by the enemy.   Wang Yaowu responded instantly. To seize the initiative before the Japanese could consolidate, he ordered two regiments to assault Chunhua Mountain that same night. Around midnight, the troops advanced in silence through the dark. After a fierce night battle, two Japanese battalions were unable to hold against the assault and withdrew in the early hours of the morning. The 57th Division had its foothold. At dawn on the 26th, a regiment from the 57th Division followed up the night's success, and Yu Chengwan positioned the division along the Chunhua Mountain line. As the morning advanced, the 51st and 58th Divisions arrived to complete the deployment. Following Xue Yue's orders, Wang Yaowu spread his force across the line: the 57th Division at Chishi River, the 58th Division at Chunhua Mountain itself, and the 51st Division at Fengjiang Bridge. They were ready. Or so it appeared.   At dawn on the 27th, Wang Yaowu went on the offensive. The 57th Division launched a surprise attack on the camp of the main force regiment of the Japanese 3rd Division. The Japanese were caught entirely unprepared — the attack came in total darkness, and the camp was thrown into chaos before anyone could organize a coherent response. The Japanese managed to form some kind of defense only as the first light of dawn broke, and through the morning the two armies clashed furiously. By mid-morning, the Japanese had been forced back three kilometers — a genuine and significant victory achieved through aggression and timing.   Then, at eight o'clock, the Japanese 3rd Division launched its counterattack with the support of dozens of aircraft — fighter-bombers diving low over the Chunhua Mountain positions, strafing and bombing. Both armies knew themselves to be elite formations; each had its country's reputation riding on the outcome. They clashed with corresponding ferocity.   Around noon, Wang Yaowu climbed to the rooftop of a farmhouse and studied the Japanese battle line through his field glasses. What he saw was encouraging: a breach had appeared in the enemy's formation to the north of Chunhua Mountain — a gap that, if exploited quickly, could roll up the Japanese flank. He ordered Li Hanqing, the infantry commander of the 51st Division, to take two regiments and execute an outflanking maneuver through that gap, striking the Japanese from the side. An hour later, Li Hanqing's movement succeeded. The Japanese forces were thrown into disarray, breaking rearward in a rout. For one brief hour, it seemed as though the 74th Army might achieve a decisive success. Then the Japanese 4th Division arrived. It swept in from behind Li Hanqing's flanking force, surrounding his two regiments before they could extract themselves. In the desperate fighting of the breakout attempt, Li Hanqing was shot and killed.   In the afternoon, with two of its regiments lost to encirclement and its flanking stroke reversed, the 57th Division found itself holding off two full Japanese divisions alone. The fighting continued — artillery, rifle fire, close assaults — until nightfall dimmed the battlefield. The division had suffered over 3,000 casualties, and more than half of all commanders below battalion level had been killed or wounded. Division Commander Yu Chengwan conferred with Wang Yaowu over the field telephone, and together they decided to withdraw the troops to prepared positions to hold through the night.   Meanwhile, on the same 27th of September, Liao Lingqi's 58th Division at Chunhua Mountain was subjected to a separate and equally devastating assault by the Japanese 6th Division, reinforced by elements of the 3rd Division. The positions at Chunhua Mountain were compact and clustered — ideal targets for concentrated aerial bombardment. The Japanese bombers came in two waves, and after both had passed, the hastily constructed earthen fortifications were almost entirely destroyed. Across what had been the defensive line, limbs and broken bodies could be seen among the wreckage. The entire division had suffered devastating casualties.   Beginning at nine o'clock in the morning, tens of thousands of Japanese troops launched successive offensive waves, methodically dividing the defensive line into sections and breaking through each one in turn. The defenders engaged the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat at position after position, gunfire and the shouts of bayonet fighters filling the smoke-thickened air. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Chunhua Mountain defense line collapsed. The surviving soldiers attempted to break out in small groups, but many were intercepted and cut down by Japanese forces waiting along the escape routes.   Wang Yaowu was seething. He directed the battle from wherever he could find a usable vantage point, issuing orders in rapid succession — one moment ordering the 51st Division to send reinforcements to Chunhua Mountain, the next directing the army's directly subordinate regiments to absorb the shattered remnants of the 58th Division, then ordering the 57th Division to block Japanese forces from reinforcing the encirclement. He was everywhere at once, doing the work of a staff of twenty, improvising responses to crises that unfolded faster than any plan could accommodate. And as he directed, the same thought played and replayed: wasn't the Ninth War Zone just feeding them to the wolves? They had jumped into the enemy's encirclement without any initiative, while the enemy could attack from whatever direction they chose. He had nowhere to vent his frustration on the battlefield, only able to fend for himself. While directing the battle, he cursed under his breath: "What kind of hell is this?!"   As dusk fell over the chaos, the gunfire gradually subsided. The Japanese as a rule did not launch night attacks — a pattern the Chinese had come to rely upon for the brief respite it offered. Li Tianxia, commander of the 51st Division, concentrated his troops from the flanks toward the center to consolidate a defensible perimeter. The 57th Division, adjacent to the 51st and badly diminished by the day's fighting, did the same. Both divisions settled into their positions, and the exhausted soldiers lay down fully clothed, weapons in hand, and tried to rest. At midnight, the battlefield exploded.   Fierce gunfire roused the soldiers from whatever shallow sleep they had found. Two elite regiments of the Japanese 6th Division had broken through the gap that had opened between the positions of the 51st and 57th Divisions — a gap created by both units pulling inward — and were driving directly toward the headquarters of the 74th Army. In Wang Yaowu's many years of battlefield experience, this was the only instance he ever encountered of a large Japanese force launching a major attack at night.   The knowledge of terrain displayed by the attacking Japanese regiments was so precise, the route to army headquarters so accurately selected, that it raised immediate suspicions of an intelligence compromise — an inside source who had provided the attackers with maps and positions. Whatever the explanation, the effect was devastating. The headquarters' directly subordinate regiment and guard battalion were outnumbered and quickly overwhelmed. They fought where they could, but the Japanese pushed through them.   The guard platoon leader, a man who had served at Wang Yaowu's side through numerous campaigns, gathered several of his best soldiers and formed a close escort. He led Wang Yaowu into the darkness as the Japanese closed around the headquarters compound. More than a hundred Japanese soldiers gave chase — moving through the dark with a sureness of foot that seemed almost preternatural, as if they had developed night vision. The platoon leader recognized that Wang Yaowu could not outrun a hundred men. He shouted to the general and the remaining escort: "Go quickly!" Then he and a single machine gunner turned and stayed behind. Wang Yaowu ran. A few minutes later, the machine gunner was killed. Shortly after that, the platoon leader was shot through the leg and fell to the ground. He was captured.   Wang Yaowu threw himself into the grass beside a drainage ditch and lay still as Japanese soldiers searched the ground around him, their voices close enough to touch. From his hiding place, he heard his platoon leader — the man who had been at his side day and night, who had chosen to stay behind so that his general might live — cursing the Japanese soldiers from the ground where he lay captured and wounded. Then a Japanese officer drew his sword. The cursing stopped. The Japanese soldiers moved on. The gunfire subsided. Wang Yaowu lay in the grass in the dark and did not move until he was certain they were gone. When he crawled out of the bushes, he looked up at the stars, found the direction of Liuyang, and began walking in the darkness with the few guards who had stayed close. He walked until dawn.   Since joining the army, Wang Yaowu had never allowed himself to think about fear of death. He had spent too many years on battlefields, seen too much death and bloodshed, to entertain it as a personal concern. This time, however, he was in tears. Not from sadness, and not from fear. From something harder to name and harder to bear: frustration — the frustration of a capable commander who had been committed to battle by a higher command that neither understood the ground nor provided him the support to fight on it, and who had watched good men die for orders that made no tactical sense.   In the aftermath of the battle, Wang Yaowu's grief was compounded by something beyond the ordinary losses of combat. The 27th alone had cost the 57th Division nearly half its strength, and the 58th Division had been essentially wiped out as a fighting formation. Of his three powerful divisions, only the 51st remained relatively intact. In war, such losses, however painful, are comprehensible. What happened next was not. Liao Lingqi, the commander of the 58th Division — one of the three officers Wang Yaowu had called his "tigers" — did not remain with his shattered troops to regroup and reorganize them. Instead, after the division's collapse, he slipped away from the battlefield with only his personal guards, changed into civilian clothes, and boarded a train bound for his hometown of Qiyang in southern Hunan to visit his family.   By unhappy chance, a senior staff officer from the Ninth War Zone was aboard the same train. He recognized Liao Lingqi and watched, saying nothing, as the division commander traveled south in civilian dress while his men lay dead on Chunhua Mountain. Upon arriving in Hengyang, the officer went directly to report the incident to General Xue Yue. Xue Yue instructed the Military Law Supervision Department to investigate and referred the case to the Military Commission's Military Law Enforcement Directorate on charges of desertion in the face of the enemy. At that point, in that situation, there was nothing Wang Yaowu could say. He had no words left. He had given everything he had to the battle, and this was what greeted him at the end of it.   The elite 74th Army, with its heroic spirit and its unbroken record, had captured the imagination of the Chinese nation and the hearts of countless young men. When soldiers of the 74th Army returned to their hometowns on leave, they wore their elite status openly, and the prestige of the unit was such that families sought them as sons-in-law. Young men who enlisted and were not selected for the 74th Army were known to weep. What a fine unit. But this time, the trap had been perfectly laid, and the intelligence had been mastered. Anami had looked at his opponent's hole cards and played accordingly. He had concentrated overwhelming force, moved with coordination and speed, and exploited the confusion generated by contradictory orders from the Ninth War Zone Command. The Chinese elite had fought with courage and skill that earned the admiration of their enemies. They had simply been outgeneraled at the operational level.   The Second Battle of Changsha, Phase Three, had cost China two of its finest armies. The 10th Army had departed Hengyang over 30,000 strong and returned barely 2,000. The 74th Army had suffered a crushing defeat from which it would require months to rebuild. Wang Yaowu had walked alone through the dark to Liuyang. Li Yutang had stood in the autumn wind at a schoolyard and looked at what remained of the men who had written their determination in blood.   I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

Phase Three of the second battle of Changsha showed Anami Korechika using intelligence and planning to blunt China's elite forces as Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly deployed the "Iron Army" 74th and the 10th. Intercepted communications enable encirclement and heavy losses. Li Yutang's merit and experience shape resistance, yet Japanese strategy dominates from the outset through coordinated advances.

Hrozba, že Rusko bude eskalovať konflikt s niektorou z členských krajín NATO, aby otestovalo jednotu i akcieschopnosť Aliancie je síce malá, ale nie je to vylúčené. Tvrdí to profesor politológie Jozef Bátora. Slovensko sa podľa neho správa veľmi nezodpovedne a zahraničná politika Roberta Fica predstavuje pre našu krajinu vážnu bezpečnostnú hrozbu. Čo ukázal summit NATO a kam nás vedie premiér Fico? Viac ako päťdesiat miliárd do nových zbraní ako aj záväzok poskytnúť Ukrajine vojenskú pomoc v hodnote 70 miliárd, to je odpoveď NATO na “dlhodobú hrozbu, ktorú podľa Aliancie pre euroatlantickú bezpečnosť a stabilitu predstavuje Rusko.“ Summit v Turecku tak potvrdil, že éra takzvanej mierovej dividendy je definitívne pochovaná a Aliancia prepína na vojnové hospodárstvo s cieľom dosiahnuť päťpercentné výdavky HDP na obranu. Kým generálny tajomník Mark Rutte hovorí o jednote a akcieschopnosti, pod povrchom buble zásadný spor medzi Spojenými štátmi a európskymi členmi aliancie. Náš kontinent tak stojí pred kľúčovou až existenčnou otázkou: Dokáže Európa premeniť miliardové prísľuby na reálnu bojaschopnosť skôr, než sa americký jadrový dáždnik definitívne zavrie a unesieme hrozby z Kremľa úplne sami? No a kde v tom všetkom sa ocitlo Slovensko, ktoré sa pod vedením Roberta Fica správa ako čierny pasažier kolektívnej bezpečnosti? Téma dnešného podcastu s profesorom politológie Jozefom Bátorom.

V Podpásovce jsme už dlouho měli v plánu věnovat se volbám v Praze. A teď to uzrálo! Jsme totiž v bodě, kdy se Andrej Babiš probudil a zjistil, že budou volby, ve kterých se volí pražský primátor, a že by bylo fajn postavit do čela nějakou hvězdu. Ovšem má trochu problém, protože se mu hlásí jen pražský politik ANO Ondřej Prokop. Ten je sice prvotřídní šplhoun (vysvětlíme, jak se to projevuje), ale nepatří zrovna mezi přední myslitele (také vysvětlíme). A hlavně se z něj přes noc stal majitel asi šesti bytů. (To „asi“ píšeme proto, že se pořád nějak nemůže dopočítat.) Vše podrobně rozebereme, včetně možnosti, že by se kandidátem ANO na primátora mohl stát třeba ministr zdravotnictví Adam Vojtěch, na jehož místo už od voleb pomýšlí člen Motoristů Boris Šťastný, kterého by zase mohl nahradit v pozici ministra sportu a chůze do schodů Patrik Nacher, který už jednou, aby to nebylo málo komplikované, kandidátem na pražského primátora byl a už jím být nechce. Podíváme se i do táborů dalších politických stran, které zbrojí na pražské volby. Jak to, že Spolu v Praze není tím, čím se zdá být celorepublikově? Jak se stalo, že se lidovci zase začínají kamarádit s Janem Čižinským, který se od nich odtrhl? Bude zase primátorem někdo, kdo vůbec není Pražák? Vyhlásíme samozřejmě i Podpásovku týdne, o kterou se tentokrát podělí hned několik vládních politiků za neuvěřitelně podpásové řeči o veřejnoprávních médiích.

Het dubbele verhaal van de verspieders - preek

Wanneer wij luisteren naar het verhaal van de verspieders, horen wij een verhaal dat de Tora niet één keer vertelt, maar twee keer. En de rabbijnen zeggen: wanneer de Tora iets herhaalt, is het niet omdat wij het vergeten zijn, maar omdat wij het nog niet diep genoeg hebben verstaan. In Numeri horen wij het verhaal zoals het gebeurde. De Eeuwige zegt: “Stuur voor jezelf mannen.” Rashi zegt: dit is geen gebod, maar een concessie. God zegt: als jullie niet kunnen vertrouwen zonder te zien, ga dan maar zien. Bamidbar Rabba vergelijkt dit met een koning die zijn zoon een geschenk wil geven, maar de zoon zegt: “Laat mij eerst kijken of het wel goed is.” De koning antwoordt: “Ik weet dat je het niet aankunt, maar als je het wilt, ga dan.” De midrasj zegt: zo was het met Israël. God wist dat de missie hen zou breken, maar Hij liet hen gaan omdat vertrouwen niet kan worden opgedrongen.En dan gaan de twaalf verspieders. De midrasj vertelt dat zij bij Chevron kwamen, waar de reuzen woonden, en dat God hen juist daarheen leidde om hen te laten zien dat zelfs de grootste vijanden sterfelijk zijn. Maar de verspieders zagen niet wat God wilde dat zij zagen. Bamidbar Rabba zegt: “Zij zagen, maar zij zagen niet.” Zij zagen de reuzen, maar niet de God die hen uit Egypte had geleid. Zij zagen de muren, maar niet de wolk die hen omhulde. Zij zagen de vrucht van het land, maar niet de vrucht van de belofte.De midrasj vertelt zelfs dat God de bewoners van het land op dat moment in rouw dompelde, zodat de verspieders ongezien konden rondtrekken. Maar de verspieders interpreteerden dit verkeerd en zeiden: “Het is een land dat zijn bewoners verslindt.” De rabbijnen zeggen: dit is de tragedie van angst — zij verdraait zelfs de tekenen van bescherming tot tekenen van gevaar.En dan komt die ene zin: “Wij kunnen niet optrekken, want zij zijn sterker dan wij.” Rashi zegt: lees het ook als: sterker dan Hij. De midrasj hoort hierin een fluistering van ongeloof, een moment waarop de angst zo groot wordt dat zelfs de herinnering aan de wonderen vervaagt.Maar dan horen wij het verhaal opnieuw in Deuteronomium. Mozes staat op de drempel van het land en kijkt terug. En hij vertelt het anders. Hij zegt niet: “God zei: stuur mannen.” Hij zegt: “U kwam naar mij toe en zei: laten wij mannen uitsturen.” De midrasj in Sifrei Devarim zegt dat Mozes hiermee de wortel van de zonde blootlegt: het was niet de missie die verkeerd was, maar het hart dat haar voortbracht. De angst was er al vóór de verspieders gingen. De mislukking begon niet bij hun verslag, maar bij het verlangen om zekerheid te hebben voordat men kon vertrouwen.Mozes zegt zelfs: “Het voorstel beviel mij.” De rabbijnen vragen: hoe kon Mozes dit goed vinden? En zij antwoorden: omdat zelfs de grootste leider soms meegaat in de angst van het volk. De midrasj zegt: “Mozes werd meegesleept door hun twijfel, zoals een mens wordt meegesleept door een sterke stroom.” Het is een pijnlijke, maar eerlijke erkenning: leiderschap is niet immuun voor de angst van de gemeenschap.Er is een verhaal uit onze eigen traditie dat dit pijnlijk en eerlijk laat zien. Aan het einde van zijn leven stond Menno Simons voor een keuze die hem zijn hele bestaan had gevormd: de eenheid van de gemeente bewaren, of weerstand bieden aan een besluit waarvan hij diep van binnen wist dat het te ver ging.De meniste gemeenten waren in die tijd verscheurd door angst. Angst voor verwatering, angst voor afwijking, angst dat de jonge beweging uiteen zou vallen. En in die angst werd de ban — de meiding — steeds strenger uitgelegd. Niet alleen als tuchtmiddel, maar als totale sociale uitsluiting. Een zware, harde vorm die het leven van mensen brak.Menno zelf had deze radicale vorm nooit gewild. Zijn eigen geschriften tonen een mildere, pastorale visie. Maar de gemeenschap om hem heen dreef in een andere richting. De druk was groot. De leiders om hem heen waren bang dat elke nuance, elke verzachting, elke pastorale uitzondering de gemeente zou splijten. En Menno, moe van jaren van strijd, voelde die angst in zijn eigen hart binnendringen.De kronieken vertellen dat hij uiteindelijk instemde met een zware ban die hij eigenlijk niet kon dragen. Hij deed het, zo zei hij later, “om de vrede van de gemeente te bewaren.” Maar het was een vrede die hem innerlijk brak. Want hij wist dat deze uitleg van de ban verder ging dan de geest van Christus die hij zijn hele leven had willen volgen.Later, toen de storm was gaan liggen, sprak hij openlijk zijn spijt uit. Hij zei dat hij had toegegeven aan de druk van de gemeenschap, dat hij had gehandeld uit zorg voor de eenheid, maar dat hij daarmee iets had toegestaan wat zijn eigen geweten niet volledig kon dragen.En de traditie bewaart dat moment niet om Menno te veroordelen, maar om ons iets te leren: zelfs de grootste leiders, zelfs de zachtste herders, zelfs de meest standvastige getuigen kunnen worden meegesleept door de angst van de gemeenschap. Leiderschap staat niet boven de angst; het staat er middenin. En juist daarom is het zo kwetsbaar.Het verhaal van Menno is geen schaduw op zijn nalatenschap. Het is een licht dat laat zien hoe menselijk leiderschap is. Hoezeer zelfs de meest toegewijde dienaren van God kunnen wankelen wanneer de gemeenschap bang wordt. En hoe belangrijk het is dat wij niet alleen bidden voor onze leiders, maar ook waken over de angst die wij als gemeenschap in hun hart kunnen leggen.Terug naar Deuteronomium. Daar spreekt Mozes die ene zin die als een diagnose klinkt: “U wilde niet optrekken.” Niet: u kon niet. Niet: u durfde niet. Maar: u wilde niet. De midrasj zegt: dit is de kern van het menselijk falen — niet dat wij niet kunnen, maar dat wij niet willen geloven dat wij kunnen.Gemeente, de Tora vertelt het verhaal twee keer omdat wij twee manieren van zien nodig hebben. Numeri laat ons de angst zien zoals zij voelt: rauw, overweldigend, onmiddellijk. Deuteronomium laat ons de angst zien zoals zij werkelijk is: een keuze, een weigering, een innerlijke beweging die wij kunnen herkennen en omkeren.De midrasj zegt dat de nieuwe generatie het verhaal moest horen “zoals een arts de wond opent om haar te genezen.” Niet om te beschuldigen, maar om te helen. Want ieder mens kent zijn eigen verspieders. Ieder mens kent de stemmen die zeggen: “Wij kunnen niet opgaan.” En ieder mens kent ook de verleiding om te zeggen: “Wij willen niet opgaan.”Maar de Tora laat ook de andere stemmen horen. De stem van Kaleb, die zegt: “Wij zullen zeker opgaan.” De midrasj zegt dat Kaleb naar Chevron ging om te bidden bij het graf van de aartsvaders, om kracht te vinden tegen de angst. En de stem van Jozua, die volgens de midrasj beschermd werd door het gebed van Mozes: “Moge God jou redden van het complot van de verspieders.” De rabbijnen zeggen: niemand overwint de reuzen van buiten zonder eerst de reuzen van binnen te overwinnen.Moge het zo zijn dat wij leren luisteren naar de stemmen van Kaleb en Jozua in ons eigen hart. Dat wij leren zien zoals Mozes ons leert zien — niet alleen met de ogen van het moment, maar met de ogen van herinnering en vertrouwen. En dat wij, wanneer wij onze eigen Kanaäns naderen, niet blijven steken in de angst van Numeri, maar de moed vinden van Deuteronomium: de moed om te willen opgaan. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/koinonia-bijbelstudie-live--595091/support.

In dieser Folge von Movecast Duo tauchen Martin Benz und Martin Thoms tief in eines der bekanntesten, aber auch am meisten missverstandenen Kapitel der Bibel ein: Genesis 3. Vielleicht geht es bei diesem Text gar nicht um die klassische Erzählung von der bösen Schlange und dem moralischen Versagen – die beiden Theologen legen vielmehr Schichten frei, die ein völlig neues Licht auf das menschliche Bewusstsein und unser Gottesbild werfen. Kernpunkte der Episode: Die Schlange als „Gottesvergifter“: Die Schlange wird hier nicht als der personifizierte Teufel (der in der Tora so nicht vorkommt), sondern als Metapher für den schleichenden Zweifel an der Güte Gottes gedeutet. Sie setzt ein „Aber“ hinter die Liebe Gottes und verwandelt den befreienden Gott Jahwe in einen namenlosen, fordernden Elohim. Sünde als Angstreaktion: Der „Sündenfall“ beginnt nicht mit Rebellion (Hybris), sondern mit einem vergifteten Gottesbild. Die daraus resultierende Angst treibt den Menschen dazu, sich vor Gott zu verstecken, anstatt die Gemeinschaft zu suchen. Erkenntnis von Gut und Böse: Entgegen der verbreiteten Meinung, der Mensch wolle hier selbst definieren, was richtig ist, geht es um die Erlangung von Einsicht (Haskil). Diese Erkenntnis ist die notwendige Bedingung für menschliche Verantwortungsfähigkeit. Die Ambivalenz der Wirklichkeit: Genesis 3 beschreibt den Übergang vom „unmündigen Baby-Zustand“ im Garten Eden hin zum verantwortungsvollen Menschsein. Erst jenseits von Eden entfalten sich Handwerk, Kultur und das Lebensgeheimnis, doch alles ist nun untrennbar mit Mühe und Schmerz (Ambivalenz) verbunden. Was ist Sünde wirklich?: Martin Benz definiert Sünde als Entmenschlichung. Die Geschichte im Garten Eden schildert nicht den ersten Sündenfall, sondern schafft die „Bedingung der Möglichkeit“, dass der Mensch sich bewusst für das Gute oder das Böse entscheiden kann. Kapitelübersicht: 00:00 Begrüßung und Einführung in Genesis 3. 04:30 Warum die Schlange im AT nicht der Teufel ist. 07:15 Die dreifache Verdrehung: Wie die Schlange das Gottesbild vergiftet. 12:00 Erste Deutung: Sünde als Folge eines falschen Gottesbildes. 15:50 Zweite Deutung: Die Ambivalenz der Wirklichkeit und das Erwachsenwerden. 20:10 Erkenntnis als Ziel der biblischen Weisheit. 26:40 Die Erbsünde: Ein Verhängnis, das der persönlichen Schuld vorausgeht. 31:20 Fazit: Verantwortung und moralisches Bewusstsein.

Hokejové prostredie prináša situácie, ktoré v žiadnej metodickej príručke nenájdete a nevymyslí ich ani ten najkreatívnejší scenárista. V najnovšej epizóde podcastu suSPEAK doplnil moderátorskú dvojicu Marek Marušiak a Rasťo Konečný muž mnohých športových tvárí, a to Matúš Krutý. Šéf športového spravodajstva STVR, dlhoročný komentátor a zároveň tréner mládeže poodhalil zákulisie televíznej aj trénerskej práce.V otvorenej a uvoľnenej debate sa poslucháči dozvedia, ako vyzerá realita priamych prenosov, ktoré sa často môžu v priebehu pár sekúnd zmeniť na nečakaný boj s okolnosťami. Matúš Krutý s humorom spomína na situácie, keď musel komentovať zápas napriek vážnym zdravotným problémom či zvládať nečakané technické komplikácie počas vysielania.Moderátori otvorili aj tému improvizácie v priamom prenose. Príkladom je moment, keď počas neplánovanej situácie padol gól a komentátor musel ihneď reagovať bez štandardnej prípravy. Práve takéto momenty podľa Matúša Krutého ukazujú, aké dôležité sú pokoj, skúsenosti a schopnosť rýchlo sa zorientovať.Nechýbajú ani spomienky na stresujúce situácie mimo samotného zápasu. Šéf športového spravodajstva STVR s dávkou sebairónie opisuje moment, keď takmer zmeškal ranný živý vstup: „Zobudil som sa na to, ako mi niekto zvoní a hovorí: ‚Matúš, kde si?‘ Pozrel som na hodiny, 6:04...“Rozhovor sa však postupne presúva aj k vážnejším témam. Veľký priestor dostáva práca s mládežou, ktorej sa Matúš Krutý venuje ako tréner hokejbalového HK Vajnory. Otvorene pomenúva jeden z najväčších problémov dnešného športu, a to tlak rodičov na deti. Podľa neho práve prehnané ambície často brzdia prirodzený rozvoj mladých hráčov a narúšajú autoritu trénera.Poslucháči sa dozvedia, aké náročné je pracovať s detskou psychikou v prostredí, kde dieťa dostáva rozdielne pokyny z lavičky a z tribúny. Téma rodičov na tréningoch či zápasoch tak dostáva konkrétny pohľad priamo z praxe.Záver rozhovoru patrí curlingu. Športu, ktorému sa skúsený novinár venuje nielen ako komentátor, ale aj ako aktívny hráč. V diskusii približuje jeho špecifiká, taktické nároky aj fyzickú stránku, ktorá je často verejnosťou podceňovaná. Nechýba ani zaujímavý detail o tradícii, ktorá je pre tento šport typická. „V pravidlách je napísané, že víťaz pozýva po zápase zdolaného na drink,“ prezradil s humorom.Výborná chémia medzi moderátormi a hosťom zaručuje, že sa pri počúvaní nebudete nudiť ani sekundu. Okrem úsmevných príhod z televízneho prostredia ponúka rozhovor aj autentický pohľad na fungovanie športových médií, prácu s mládežou a zákulisie menej populárnych športov.Ak hľadáte kombináciu humoru, zákulisných informácií a úprimných názorov na súčasný šport, najnovší diel podcastu suSPEAK na ŠPORT.sk s Matúšom Krutým by ste rozhodne nemali vynechať.

Zo Slovenska odchádza Samsung a podľa rozpočtovej rady je ohrozených 30 tisíc pracovných miest. Ľudia už vidia konsolidáciu aj na svojich výplatných páskach.Na základe čoho Progresívne Slovensko hovorí, že zadržanie vyšetrovateľov a prokurátora je politická objednávka? Kto si to teda objednal a čo s tým? Je ruská ropa a plyn pre Slovensku skutočne nenahraditeľná a ich zastavenie by pre nás bolo energetickou samovraždou ako hovorí premiér Fico? Podporila by opozícia jeho žalobu či blokovanie sankcií na Rusko? A čo urobia progresívci z poklesom ich preferencií?Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s predsedom hnutia Progresívne Slovensko a poslancom parlamentu Michalom Šimečkom.

18 bytov Čižnárovcov podľa odhadu presahuje hodnotu troch miliónov eur, dva z nich sa nachádzajú na prominentnej bratislavskej adrese.„Majetok, ktorý neviete vysvetliť, by mal podliehať 90-percentnej dani.“ To sú slová Jaromira Čižnára, bývalého generálneho prokurátora, ktorý sľuboval sprísenie kontrôl majetku verejne činných osôb. Dnes je všetko inak.Jaromír Čižnár je už na dôchodku, no jeho rodinné portfólio pôsobí ako menšia realitná kancelária so 16timi bytmi v Košiciach a dvomi luxusnými rezidenciami v bratislavskom River Parku.Čižnárov syn odpovedá na otázky o pôvode peňazí stroho – obchodným tajomstvom. Ako sa dajú kúpiť miliónové byty, keď vaša firma vykazuje státisícové straty?„Na Slovensku máme zákon o pôvode majetku, tento zákon je však nefunkčný. Nikdy sa nedopracoval k človeku, ktorý by svoj majetok nevedel vysvetliť. A to sa tomuto zákonu podrobovali aj mafiáni,“ hovorí reportér Martin Turček.Všetky naše podcasty nájdete na jednej stránke tu.

今年(ことし)の1月(いちがつ)に運転免許(うんてんめんきょ)を取(と)ったばかりのとらくんですが、今回(こんかい)は、日本(にほん)で運転免許(うんてんめんきょ)を取(と)るには、どんなことをしないといけないのかについて話(はな)しました。海外(かいがい)では、自分(じぶん)で練習(れんしゅう)して運転試験(うんてんしけん)を受(う)けることが多(おお)いと思(おも)いますが、日本(にほん)では、自動車学校(じどうしゃがっこう)という特別(とくべつ)な学校(がっこう)に行(い)って、運転(うんてん)のスキルと、運転(うんてん)についてのルールを習(なら)うのが普通(ふつう)です。そこで、どんなことを習(なら)うのか、どんな勉強(べんきょう)をして、どんな試験(しけん)を受(う)けるのかについて説明(せつめい)しています。ですが、専門用語(せんもんようご)が多(おお)くて、私(わたし)でも、ほとんど何(なに)を言(い)っているのか理解(りかい)できませんでした。なので、今回(こんかい)は聞(き)き取(と)れなくても大丈夫(だいじょうぶ)です。難(むずか)しすぎるので、分(わ)からない部分(ぶぶん)は聞(き)き流(なが)してください。笑Tora has just gotten his driver's license this January, and in this episode, we talked about what you need to do to get a driver's license in Japan.In many countries, people usually practice driving on their own and then take a driving test. However, in Japan, it is common to go to a special school called a driving school, where people learn driving skills as well as the rules of the road.We explain what kind of things you learn there, what kind of studying you have to do, and what kinds of tests you need to take.However, there are so many technical terms that even I couldn't really understand what he was talking about most of the time.So it's totally okay if you can't catch everything this time. It's quite difficult, so please just listen casually and don't worry about the parts you don't understand.
