In 1972, Hanoi became the epicenter of a monumental aerial confrontation known as the "Dien Bien Phu in the air," marking a pivotal moment in the Vietnam War. The game "Hanoi 12 Days and Nights," developed by Pirex Games, vividly recreates this intense period of conflict. Focused on the revolutionary spirit, the game captures the essence of the Hanoi people's resistance against the formidable B-52 aircraft of the US imperialists during the end of December 1972. This struggle culminated in the US government's decision to sign the Paris Agreement, bringing peace to North Vietnam.
From the US perspective, this period was known as Operation Linebacker II, the final military campaign against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the Vietnam War. Spanning from December 18 to December 30, 1972, Operation Linebacker II was launched after the Paris Conference collapsed due to irreconcilable differences between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the US over the terms of the peace agreement. This operation, also referred to as the "Dien Bien Phu in the air," showcased the last significant military effort by the United States in the conflict.
