The Vietcong in the Vietnam War used a fighting style called guerrilla warfare. The main force Vietcong soldiers were full-time soldiers. They would be used to fight over a wide area. Regional forces were also full- time soldiers. They only served within their area they wouldn’t really leave their stations. If it was necessary smaller units, they would join up to make a bigger units for bigger attacks on the American troops. If the American troops pressured the Vietcong to much, they who break down into smaller units and scatter to same where safe. The Vietcong main troops thought they were all professional soldiers and the local Vietcong soldiers were not that confident about themselves. Recruits were young teenagers, many of them were motivated to fight by idealism, but others were pressures or were shamed into joining the military. Guerrillas were given only basic training. If they were recruited by the main force however, they could receive advanced training. There were many different hiding places for the platoon leaders and his squad for weapons and radio training. In the mid-1960s, most of the Vietcong main soldiers had Chinese versions of the Russian AK-47 submachine gun. The heavy machine guns were used for defense against American helicopters. For destroying vehicles or bunkers, the Vietcong army would use rocket propelled grenades. The Vietcong army also had weapons like booby traps and mines which were homemade in the villages.
