Explanation:

The Vietcong were well - versed in guerrilla warfare. They used the dense jungle terrain to their advantage. Hiding in the jungle and waiting for U.S. troops to leave before retaking areas was a common tactic. They did not typically fight head - on against the well - equipped U.S. forces, nor did they rely on immediate Soviet bombing or waiting for large numbers of Chinese forces to arrive.

Answer:

B. They would hide in the jungle, wait for U.S. troops to leave, then take the area back over.
