What is the role of the Chinook helicopter?
It is a military heavy cargo helicopter
What is the attack cargo helicopter for?
You're referring to a helicopter gunship. Made popular in Vietnam, the French actually employed them first, mounting weapons onto H-21 and H-19 helicopters to provide close air support. This was done as the lighter helicopters of the time did not have enough power to sufficiently mount and carry weapons. These came about before dedicated attack helicopters made their appearance, and were replaced in the gunship role by those dedicated attack helicopters.

What was the first helicopter gunship?
Some of the UH-1s (Hueys) were later fitted with rockets and guns to fly escort for UH-1 troop carriers. In the 'gunship' role, the UH1 couldn't carry troops because of the weight. It was the first to be called a 'gunship' specifically, but that was simply to differentiate it from the standard utility UH-1s...despite that even they had a pintle mounted gun on each side. Despite what Hollywood might have us believe, the UH1 'gunship', like the ACH-47, wasn't effective enough in the attack role to be deployed in significant numbers, especially since UH-1s were in such high demand as transport aircraft. The AH-1 Cobra was a purpose-built attack variant of the UH-1 that used the same powertrain as the UH-1, so it's a good example to see what makes an attack helicopter. The Cobra's flight crew sit fore and aft (like the Sioux above) to reduce the cross section presented to the enemy. It was built specifically as an attack helicopter at the expense of the utility role: it couldn't carry any logistical loads while armed, either internally or on a hook. The Cobra was indeed the first true 'gunship' and still serves in that role, mostly for allies of the US. It continues to be modernized and updated for the Marines as projected mission requirements change, including characteristics that we now see as essential to a modern 'gunship': twin engines, night operation, interoperability with ground forces, stand-off targeting, etc.
Role of hellicopters in the Vietnam war?
Vietnam was history's first war with the helicopter as a primary attack and infantry carrying aircraft. The AH-1 Cobra (AH=Attack Helicopter) was America's first purpose built & combat fielded attack helicopter. Helicopters did practically everything: Medi-vaced wounded men; attacked with mini-guns, attacked with 2.75 inch rockets; attacked with machine guns; transported artillery; transported armored vehicles; recovered downed aircraft; transported riverine boats; performed re-supply functions in the field with water containers, fuel containers, spare parts, etc. Most important of all, helicopters formed the US Army's new type of infantry: The Airmobile Divisions, akin to WWII's Airborne Divisions (which were a new invention during WWII).
