In the historic year of 1972, Hanoi witnessed a significant aerial battle known as the "Dien Bien Phu victory in the air," which was part of Operation Linebacker II. This intense conflict is vividly brought to life in the game "Hanoi 12 Days and Nights," developed by Pirex Games. The game centers around the theme of revolution and meticulously recreates the fierce aerial warfare experienced by the people of Hanoi as they valiantly resisted the US imperialists' large-scale B-52 bombing campaign. This pivotal moment in history culminated at the end of December 1972, when the US military was compelled to sign the Paris Agreement, thereby ushering in peace to North Vietnam.
From the perspective of the United States, this operation, also referred to as Operation Linebacker II or the "Dien Bien Phu in the air," marked their final military endeavor against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It took place between December 18 and December 30, 1972, following the collapse of the Paris Conference due to irreconcilable differences between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the US regarding the terms of the peace agreement.
