In 1972, the city of Hanoi became the epicenter of a significant aerial conflict known as the "Dien Bien Phu in the air," which was part of Operation Linebacker II. This operation, launched by the United States, marked the final military campaign against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Spanning from December 18 to December 30, 1972, Operation Linebacker II was initiated after the Paris Conference collapsed due to unresolved disagreements between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the US regarding the terms of peace.
The game "Hanoi 12 Days and Nights," developed by Pirex Games, vividly recreates this intense period of conflict. Focused on the theme of revolution, the game captures the spirit of the Hanoi people's resistance against the formidable B-52 aircraft used by the US imperialists. This digital experience aims to immerse players in the harrowing yet heroic struggle that took place in the skies above Hanoi. By the end of December 1972, the relentless efforts of the Vietnamese forces led to the US government signing the Paris Agreement, which ultimately brought peace to North Vietnam.
