Most people thinking of the Vietnam War will use Vietcong as a blanket term for all Communist forces, including the NVA. Which makes sense considering the Indochina War was a war against an insurgency rather than a traditional conflict.
Obviously the VC were only Viet insurgents in South Vietnam, supporting the NVA regulars (or was it the other way around?), and they wernt the entirety of America's enemies during the war. They were still a major threat to US objectives.
While South Vietnam had to deal with this large scale people's insurgency, North Vietnam didnt have a resistance of its own to deal with (or not a very large one in anycase). Well there was an insurgency in Laos they had to fight but thats not Vietnamese soil.
So WI North Vietnam had to deal with a large VC style insurgency of pro-south (or at least anti communist) forces during the Vietnamese Civil War?
