The video game "Hanoi 12 Days and Nights," developed by Pirex Games, vividly recreates a pivotal chapter in history: the aerial battle known as Dien Bien Phu in the air. This game encapsulates the spirit of revolution and resilience, allowing players to experience the intense struggle of the Hanoi people against the formidable B-52 aircraft of the US imperialists during the Vietnam War. Set at the end of December 1972, the game's narrative culminates with the US government being compelled to sign the Paris Agreement, which ushered in peace to North Vietnam.
From the American perspective, this period was known as Operation Linebacker II, often referred to as the Dien Bien Phu in the air campaign. It marked the final military endeavor by the United States against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Spanning from December 18 to December 30, 1972, this operation was initiated following the breakdown of the Paris Conference, which had collapsed due to unresolved disagreements between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the US over the terms of peace.
