Cat - antiaircrafter
It happened in Belarus. Summer 1944. Through spalёnnoe village, on the heels of the advancing army was the battery MSA. 37-mm anti-aircraft guns were kept when the most dangerous range of heights - 2 0 - 3 0 km, covering the crossing safely, airfields and other important objects.
A short halt in the ruins of the village. Thank God - well intact. Time - just dial the flask and rewind foot bindings. The only living soul squinted in the sun on the remains of the burnt log. And that soul was red kitten. People for a long time, or died, or left, away from sin ...
An elderly foreman, dokurivaya cigarette, took a long look at the kitten, and then took him and put him on obluchёk. Fed the remainder lunch narёk cat Ryzhikov and announced its seventh fighter calculation. With a hint of future glory destroyer of mice and other filthy at the locations, and especially - in the dugout. Beardless lieutenant, too, did not mind, because Ginger and caught on the battery. By the winter I grew up in a healthy ginger tomcat.
During raids by enemy aircraft Ginger disappeared, and no one knows where to be born only when sheathed gun. Then the cat was marked especially valuable feature. A feature that we noticed the foreman - for half a minute before the raid (and before you slip away) Ginger muffled growling in the direction from which the enemy planes appear. All turns out that his home was in error or purposefully bombed by German aircraft. And the sound that carries the death, he remembered forever.
This rumor has estimated the entire battery. Productivity rebound thinning enemy attacks increased by an order, exactly how and reputation Ryzhik. In the face was once regimental signaller, tried to kick with his boot animal confused at his feet.
During the war, no one came into his head to send to the acting of the Inspector podvorotnichkov purity and greenness of grass, for this reason, Ginger, and lived up to April 45, before his hour of triumph.
In late April, the battery is resting. The war has died down, and came to an end. For the latest Fritz in the air was a real hunt, therefore, battery MSA defense just enjoy the spring sun and Ginger dryh outdoors, excluding legal mealtimes.
But, Ain seconds and wakes up Ginger, it gives hair stand on end, requires attention and growls ominously due east. An incredible situation: the east of Moscow and other rear. But the people serviceman and trust instinct of self-preservation. 37 graph paper can be brought into the firing position from marching for 25-30 seconds. And in this case, static - for 5-6 seconds.
Silence, trunks, in any case imposed on the east. We believe the cat and wait ... With a smoky plume appears our hawk. Behind him hangs on the minimum distance - FW-190. Battery wedged a double queue and Focker, without much fuss stuck in the ground for 500 -700 meters from our position. Hawk at the turn swung from wing to wing and left landing, good, everything is close to the base - 10-15 km.
The next day came the car full of guests and brought the pilot - chest with medals, confused look and a suitcase with gifts. Written on his face - someone say thank you? He says - you guessed it, that I needed help, so much so quickly? Yes, that so right on target? I've you brought in gratitude, alcohol, fat, cigarette case and other gifts.
We put the blame on Ryzhik - tell him thank you! Pilot thinks that his play. And the sergeant tells a long version of the story, you have read it.
To his credit, the next day, the pilot came back with two kilograms of fresh gras for Ryzhik. This pilot even thought that the cat is called Radar, but no - it has named Sandy, did not rename.
In June, the 45th unit was disbanded, everyone went home. A cat took with him to the village sergeant-Belarusian, rightly judging that once a cat in Belarus picked up - and then live it out there after the war. They say in the village, where the sergeant was born, still living descendants of this cat - all fiery red ...
