The Battle of Hồ Chí Minh City

As the North became too overrun with zombies, U.S had sent soldiers into Southern Vietnam to prevent the fall of Vietnam to the overwhelming forces of the Zombie, these soldiers made contact and talked to the locals in order to gain power and support for their cause, they have recruited soldiers from supportive locals they've found, or in some cases, the people joined in by themselves. The full-time soldiers were trained at bases, ready for full scale combat, while the part-time soldiers were given food, water and rifles with ammunitions, they would provide intel and set traps around and in the City, U.S soldiers eventually found their issued rifle ineffective in the Jungle Environment of Vietnam, the M4 rifle had little tolerance for dirt and mud which had caused many deaths in the fields while the PAVN had rifles like the AK-47 which proved effective in the Jungle environments, they were also proven to be much smarter and as smart as the S.A.N.I virus, apparently, they would carry out ambushes on large zombie hordes and launched attacks on overran villages, but they also found the zombies to be a difficult foe, they would engage in close combat to prevent the use of Air support, and just like the PAVN and U.S armed forces, the zombies had also taken advantage of the Jungle environment and it was much more effective due to the Zombie's skin color, which is usually Green, they carried out attacks on roads, while the Brute would snipe out densely populated area, it skin color provide a great camouflage in the Jungle, while zombies like the Edgar and Leaper would pin down Heavily armed Soldiers, making the soldier who is pinned down an easy target to finish off by regular zombies. and the U.S Soldiers on the other hand, had to endure the Jungle environment while fighting, unlike the Vietnamese Soldiers, U.S soldiers weren't used to the Jungle environment while under pressure. the Vietnamese Soldiers would hide from the zombies in tunnels which contains everything necessary to last them for at least a week. Weapons factories were filled with requests for weapons due to the ineffectiveness of the U.S standard issue rifle and the effectiveness of the weapons used by the PAVN, Most U.S soldiers were issued Soviet-era weapons like the AK-47 and Dragunov, while the soldiers who remained in the city traded their M4s for M16A1s, which is more accurate and packs a heavier punch, but makes up for it in size and weight.

The weapons which were issued to U.S soldiers who patrolled outside the city and the Vietnamese Soldiers were: the Semi-automatic Dragunov Sniper rifle, the AK-47 (Also issued to Part-time soldiers outside of the city), RPG-7 (M202 for U.S Soldiers), the Colt Python Revolver (replaced the U.S standard sidearm in Vietnam) and the Dark Iron Remington 700 (Issued to Part-time Soldiers who stayed in the City, the Dark Iron was used as a camouflage as the Silverback reflected too much light, which attracts zombies.)
