VIET.NAM DOCUMENTS & RESEARCH NOTES is iuued as a research service by the Uniled States Mission in Vietnam. I, presents a selection of significant materials on Southern Viet Cong and North Vietnamese

affairs. Copies of Vietnamese ·la.nguage originals of all captured documents used and full texts of ""y translations abridged may be obtained on request from the Minister- Counselor for (nformation, American Emba,uy, Sai,on, Vietnam

The Vietn ... a. phrase used in a number of tbe l •• flets 18 thoi eo, which

translates literally as "tl •• opportun1ty". The pbrue 18 generally taken to mean,

in this context, tbe historically decisive moment -- the t1m. period 1n which. 10ng-

Bought opportunity may become reality. The opportunity mU8t be grasped tor it may

never ret urn .

The •• l •• fleta, found in all tour tactical zones ot the Republic ot Viet-Nam

during and after the enemy'. general otfensive agalnlt the population centers, show

that the National Liberation Front held out to 1t. tighters the promise that they

could gain final victory in this tttlm~opportun1t7" . The leaflets also use the

" It ., ~ ... I .. " " " .. phr.... general offensive (tong coni kic~) and general uprising (tODg khdl

nchi"'a) •

In other primary tha. •• , the leaflet. resemble the Viet Cong radio broadcasts.

They stre •• alleged .eakne.se. of the government of South Viet-N" aDd the offensive's

goal a. being the overthrow of the Government, with .eizure of power by "the people";

that is, by the Viet Cong and their adherents, together with any other elements of the

population wbich could be induced to join or support the offensive. Several of the

leaflets make strong appeals to the public and to the soldiers of the Aray of the

Republic of Viet-X.. to Join the revolutionary forces in their effort to overthrow

the government.

THE TIME FOR ACTION HAS COME: Courageously Surge Forward to Destroy the Americans and puppets!

The bugle call of the Fatherland ordering the assault has sounded over the mountains and rivers. Let tbe entire army and people surge torward simultaneously to destroy the enemy and liberate the country: This 1s the time-opportunity to win total victory. Be determined to smash the entire puppet army and destroy the entire puppet regime. Hesitation is a sin against the Fatherland, indecision is suicide.

Each Vietnamese citizen should immediately join the armed uprising troops to seize total power tor ourselves. Each citizen should be a combatant defending the country with a gun tirmly held 1n bis hands and a readiness to defeat any American and puppet counterattack.

Let'. d •• troy the American pirates, exterminate the Vietnamese traitors aad the cruel and stubborn elements. Let t S correctly execute the polici •• ot the

SOLDIERS AND OFFICERS OF THE PUPPET ARMY IN PHUOC LONG PROVINCE In 1967 the U.S. and puppets suffered heavier defeats than 1n the previous years; 365,000 of them were destroyed,with 53 battalions and hundreds of companies put out ot action. 3,200 aircraft and 8,500 military vehicles destroyed, etc. The U.S. and puppets are in a difficult, stalemate situation. They are unable to defend themselves or launch offensives, their rear bases are under pressure or under constant attacks. It is obvious that the Americans are being defeated and that the revolution will win total victory. The time-opportunity has come. Without hesitation, without indecision, friends, you should: - Leave your ranks and return to your families. - Refuse to go on sweep operations and rescue operations, refuse to fight the liberation troops. - Turn your guns to kill cruel tyrants, destroy the army and police posts, achieve merits and return to the people's side. The Front stands ready to welcome all individuals and units engaged in acts opposing the Americans and serving national salvation. This is the only road tor you, friends. Please think it over and act accordingly.
