Detailed explanation-1: -The guerrilla warfare tactics, such as hit-and-run ambush, or ambushing American soldiers and then escaping before being captured, used by the Viet Cong, who were communist fighters from North Vietnam, ultimately led to the United States withdrawing from Vietnam.
Detailed explanation-2: -Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which small groups of combatants, such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars, use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility, to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military.
Detailed explanation-3: -Guerrilla warfare was not unique to China; nomadic and migratory tribes such as the Scythians, Goths, Vandals, and Huns used elements of guerrilla warfare to fight the Persian Empire, the Roman Empire, and Alexander the Great.
Detailed explanation-4: -The most fully elaborated guerrilla warfare structure is by the Chinese and Vietnamese communists during the revolutionary wars of East and Southeast Asia.
