The VC were guerrillas and a separate fighting force from the NVA (North Viet Regular Army). They had, due to their inherent organization, to fight utilizing guerrilla tactics (hit and run); and because they were NOT a regular army they had no supply system (as did the NVA) and had to exist upon captured weapons and equipment. Although at times they did receive wpns/equipment from North Vietnam...the priority was the North's own army (NVA). Additionally, the VC had no artillery nor armor (tanks)...if they did it was a "field expedient" (something done at the moment & borrowed from the NVA).
All of the above translates to fighting with "what they can get their hands on." And guerrillas through-out history (from the Swamp Fox to Quantrills raiders) have had to fight the same way.
What else can I help you with?
Why was the Vietcong able to fight back the us?
They didn't. The NVA won the war when they drove their tanks thru the South Viet capital.
Why were the vietcong called the elusive enemy?
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.
Why so much opposition to the draft in Vietnam?
the Vietnam war was not an American war. we got in it to fight off communism. and the vietcong and north vietnamese worked together to fight us, and south vietnamese were hardly using their army to fight, they were letting us do all of it. and Americans didnt want to go die for a lost cause.

What did the Vietcong do to fight against the technology of the US military?
The Vietcong were well supplied with Soviet military technology to counter that of the US; in addition, they were able to improvise simpler but effective weapons. And lots of them died. Remember, there were roughly a million Vietnamese deaths in the war, as compared to a mere 50,000 for US soldiers. Clearly, American military technology was very effective. The Vietnamese paid a very high price for their military victory.
