RossThe citizens of North Vietnam used tunnels as forms of "Air Raid" shelters, much as Great Britain did at the time of their "Blitz" during WWII. Communist forces (Viet Cong) used tunnels to store ammunition, medical supplies, moveable hospitals, and troop staging areas, in South Vietnam.

What weapon was used to suck the oxygen out of the Viet Cong tunnels in the Vietnam War?
It was CS gas, which is a type of tear gas, that was used against those in tunnels in the Viet Nam conflict. It did not "suck oxygen" out of the tunnels, because there was nothing that would do that. Instead, the CS directly affected the occupants. Use the link below to learn more.

What is a Vietnam tunnel rat?
During the Vietnam war the Vietcong made a tunnel network under Vietnam which they used for communication and supply routes. When the American troops found the entrance to one of these tunnels they would send one soldier down into the tunnel armed only with a gun, a knife, a flashlight and a piece of string. These soldiers were called 'tunnel rats'. They would explore the tunnels and then bring any papers or information back to the rest of his troops at the entrance to the tunnel. Many 'tunnel rats' were killed while down in the tunnels as the Vietcong set booby traps to kill the 'tunnel rats'.
