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.

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).
