1945年，年仅16岁的段八月已经是八路军某部的一名通信员了。有一天，他骑着一匹白马翻山越岭赶往营部送信时，不幸和一连进山“扫荡”的日军撞上了。
日军一见段八月，叽里呱啦大叫着围了上来。段八月一勒马缰，冲上一条岔路。日军骑着马疯狂地追赶着，子弹“嗖嗖”地从他身旁穿过。段八月趴在马上拼命地鞭打着马，冒死往前飞奔。
突然，白马中了一弹，一个趔趄，长嘶一声摔倒在了地上。段八月也从马上摔了下来，幸亏只受了点擦伤。他爬起身就往旁边的山岗奔去。山岗的那边是一片一望无际的高粱地，只要越过山岗钻进高粱地，日军纵有天大的本事也找不到他了。
后面的日军也发现了段八月的意图，马上有七八个骑马的日军抄近路赶到了山岗的那边，堵住了他的去路。
等到段八月气喘吁吁跑上山岗的时候，一下傻眼了。山岗下正有一排日军在等着他。回头一望，后面的日军已经成扇形围了上来。他被包围了。
眼看着段八月已经无路可走，日军停止了射击，狂笑着慢慢缩小着包围圈。绝境中的段八月悲壮地把手枪对准了自己的太阳穴……
就在这时，一件意外的事情发生了。天空中忽然冒出了一架飞机，这种飞机很古怪，外型与当时的日本飞机截然不同，简直就像一只大蜻蜓。飞机飞得很低，它围着段八月打了一个旋。强大的气流掀起了一阵阵的狂风，吹得段八月有些站立不稳。
段八月抬起头来，清楚地看到打开的舱门里有一个六十多岁的老人正惊讶地望着自己。段八月也惊呆了，他觉得老人的模样是那么熟悉和亲切，仿佛和自己的父亲一样。
蓦地，飞机的舱门里出现了一架机枪，机枪“突突突”地开火了，子弹准确地射中了那些骑马的日军。日军猝不及防，一下子死伤了一大片，剩下的日军完全被这架飞机上的机枪震慑了，疯狂地打马四散跑了。
日军一下跑得干干净净，天空中的飞机也在一刹那间不见了。山岗上只留下孤零零的段八月。惊喜不已的段八月见飞机把日军打跑了，情不自禁地大叫道：“谢谢空军，谢谢空军同志……”
说完，段八月飞快地冲下山岗，钻进了那片高粱地。
事后，当段八月向八路军首长汇报这件事的时候，谁也不相信这件事的真实性。因为那时候我们根本没有空军，国民党的空军也远在千里之外的后方，不可能飞到前方来。何况段八月说的飞机还是像蜻蜓一样的飞机，这种飞机更是谁也没有见过。
所以，无论段八月怎么解释，都没有人相信他说的话。
段八月后来也有些犹豫了，他想是不是自己当时真的看花了眼？
这件事就成了段八月心中一个解不开的谜。
时间过得很快，一晃50年过去了。段八月已经从空军副军长的位置上退了下来离休在家。像他这样的级别和资历，组织上照例安排他撰写回忆录，把当年经历的大大小小的事情记录下来，留给后人。
过去的一幕幕又在段八月的脑海里冒了出来。他想起了自己16岁那次奇特的经历。现在他早已知道那架像蜻蜓一样的飞机是直升机，如果没有那架直升机他肯定活不到今天。可是，那时候直升机根本就没有诞生啊。
1995年秋季的一天，为了核实文革时的一段经历，段八月来到了自己离休前所在的空军某部。查完资料后，兴致勃勃的段八月在刘团长的带领下去参观一些新型战机。
刘团长指着飞机场上一架新型武装直升机介绍说：“这是我国最新换代的国产武装直升机。它的飞行性能优越，火力强大，可以反坦克，压制地面火力，甚至运送步兵直接攻击并占领地面目标……”
段八月一边点着头一边感慨道：“要是能坐上这种飞机在天空飞一圈，体验体验该多好啊。”
刘团长哈哈一笑，说：“老首长何必说这种话，您想飞一圈还不容易？正好今天我们有训飞任务，我就带您上天空转一圈吧！”
段八月高兴得连连点头。
半个小时后，段八月坐上了刘团长亲自驾驶的这架武装直升机飞向了蓝天。段八月坐在机舱里，望望身旁朵朵白云，再望望地下的山川河流，心里惬意得很。
突然，飞机轻轻摇晃了一下，并且大大降低了高度。段八月忽然感到一阵眩晕，他甩甩头，往机外看去，竟看到了异常惊奇的一幕：只见地下一个穿着破旧军衣的年轻人正拼命往一个山岗奔去，身后有数十个人骑在马上紧紧追赶着，还有几匹马分开抄近路绕到了山岗的前面。
段八月一下子推开了直升机的舱门，对驾驶室的刘团长大声说道：“飞低一点，让我看清楚下面发生了什么事！”
直升机慢慢地飞临到了年轻人的头顶，段八月探出头去。这一下，他惊异万分地张大了嘴，因为他看到了年轻的自己──那不正是16岁的自己吗？此时16岁的段八月正拿着手枪顶着自己的太阳穴，准备以身殉国。
直升机的轰鸣声使16岁的段八月抬起头来，他一眼看到了直升机上66岁的段八月，16岁的段八月一脸的惊奇。
直升机上的段八月一转头，看到了那些骑马的人居然就是曾经和自己交战过的侵华日军。段八月只觉得热血沸腾。他一眼看到机舱口上固定的一架重机枪，马上转过身，推膛上弹，操起机枪对着那些骑马的日军“突突突”就射开了。弹如雨下，日军惨叫着翻下马去，其他日军见势不妙，打马四散跑了。
这时山岗上的段八月惊喜地移开了太阳穴上的手枪，欢叫道：“谢谢空军，谢谢空军同志……”
飞机上的段八月惊呆了……
等到段八月和刘团长从直升机上下来时，地上的空勤人员告诉他们：雷达曾有4分25秒失去了直升机的踪影，他们还以为直升机出事了呢！
段八月和刘团长互看一眼，不约而同地去看腕上的手表，只见两人表上的时间一模一样，只是比别人晚了4分25秒。
段八月终于搞清自己16岁那年看到的那架飞机，就是自己刚刚乘坐的这架武装直升机。不可思议的是，从前的自己，也就是16岁的段八月居然被66岁的段八月所救。
段八月喃喃道：“原来，当年是我自己救了自己呀！”
