The video game "Hanoi 12 Days and Nights," developed by Pirex Games, delves into the revolutionary spirit of the era. This game vividly recreates a significant chapter of history, known as the "Dien Bien Phu in the air," which encapsulates the fierce resistance of the Hanoi people against the formidable B-52 aerial assaults by the US forces. This intense conflict unfolded in December 1972 and ultimately led the US government to sign the Paris Agreement, ushering in peace for North Vietnam.
From the American perspective, this period was known as Operation Linebacker II, also referred to as the "Dien Bien Phu in the air" campaign. This operation marked the final military effort by the United States against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It spanned from December 18 to December 30, 1972, following the breakdown of the Paris Conference, which had collapsed due to unresolved disputes between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the US over the terms of the peace agreement.
