Communist sympathizers living in South Vietnam; often conducting guerrilla warfare against Republic of South Vietnam Government forces.
The Guerilla army was known as the Vietcong. Very stealthy, and effective. Utilized their surroundings to the best of their abilities. Their adaptability was one of the main reasons that there were as many casualties in the Vietnam War as their were.
The Viet Cong was started by the Vietminh, a guerrilla army whose first objective was to oppose Japanese invasion. Later, the Viet Cong successfully fought against the France and the USA.
The Vietcong was a political organization and army in South Vietnam and Cambodia that fought the United States and South Vietnamese governments during the Vietnam War (1955-1975).
Communists living in South Vietnam, not part of the regular NVA (North Vietnamese Army). VC over the radio, pronounced "Victor Charley"...the military phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charley, Delta, Echo, etc.).
Not being a regular army like the NVA, the VC were forced to utilize mainly guerrilla tactics (hit & run).
If you mean who the enemy was, it were the: North Vietnamese Army Vietcong Khmer Rouge and the Pathet Lao While the "Main Enemies" Were the vietcong and the north vietnamese army.
There is no way the Vietcong would win against China. China has the biggest army in the world. Give China the win.
Probably on the very first patrol anyone went on. The Vietcong tunneled pretty constantly throughout the war.
The VC (Vietcong) and NVA (North Vietnamese Army).
The objectives of going to war in Vietnam were to defeat the Communist Vietcong army and prevent the spread of Communism to Vietnam.
The local VC took their orders from Hanoi. The NVA was Hanoi's regular army.
The Vietcong was an elusive enemy, because they didn't fight with a traditional army. Their fighters hid, spread out, regrouped, etc in a highly dense rain forest, making it very difficult for the foreign soldiers (US Americans mostly) to find and fight them.
The Tet Offensive was the largest blow to the Johnson's Vietnam "Police policy". The Vietcong along with the North Vietnamese Communist Army laid low for a while. Just as Generals thought they had eliminated all of the Vietcong in South Vietnam. The Vietcong and the N. Vietnamese army launched a large offensive on several key cities including Saigon. Although in a weeks time the American troops were able to re-claim all of the recently captured cities. The Tet Offensive largest blow had been a political one. The offensive proved that the Vietcong were still a very prevalent threat in South Vietnam
