Win together or lose together! —description from the publisher 高雄大空襲 ゲーム紹介 第二次世界大戦後期、米軍を中心とする連合軍はすでに太平洋の戦場の海空の支配権を掌握していました。連合軍は戦争を早めに終わらせて損失を抑えるため、「飛び石作戦」によって日本本土への攻勢を強めた一方で、台湾へは上陸せず、全面的なに空襲を行っいました。日本の南進政策において、高雄はその要となる「南進基地」とされ、一つの要塞都市になりました。高雄に製油、造船、鋼鉄圧延、硫酸アンモニウム、肥料、製紙などの工場が建設されたほか、岡山区には日本軍が飛行機の機体や軍用機器を作るための施設がありました。このため、高雄はアジアで日本本土に次ぐ軍需産業基地となり、それゆえに米軍の重点的な空襲目標となったのです。統計によれば、第二次世界大戦中に米軍が高雄に投下した爆弾の量は台湾の全都市の中でも最多でした。
