What military stratagies did the vietcong use against the Americans?
The Vietcong had planned for the war years in advance. First, they prepared their supply lines. They built the Ho Chi Minh Trail. It was not one road but a series of extremely narrow roads that merged and separated. The bridges were built underwater so they were not visible from the air. Thus they had simple supply lines with lots of built in redundancy. Second, they dug out caves to hide their solders. Thus their solders would hide during the day and come out during the night to fight. The caves also held their supplies and hospitals. Third, the Vietcong used extremely simple weapons. The AK-47 rifle is designed so that it will not jam. Thus a Vietcong could get mud all over his rifle and it would still work. It was not a fine crafted piece of machinery like the American weapons. Fourth, the Vietcong used weapons that took bullets and other ammunition one millimeter larger than American weapons. Thus, if the Vietcong captured American ammunition, they could use it. If the Americans captured Vietcong ammunition, it was worthless. Fifth, the Vietcong would kill the money lenders. In Asian societies many people owe money at a high rate of interest. The Vietcong would break that cycle. They would show the local people how they would deliver them from their oppression. Sixth, the Vietcong listened to American Generals talk. One American general said, "The Vietcong anti aircraft guns can not go over 6,000 feet. We will be safe if we fly at 10,000 feet. The Vietcong knew American airplanes would fly at 10,000 feet. They put their anti-aircraft guns on top of 6,000 feet high mountains. The guns would reach 12,000 feet. When a plane flew over at 10,000 feet, they would shoot it down.
