Disguised as peasants, they mingled with the holiday crowds, taking advantage of lax security to smuggle weapons into the towns and cities, or linking up with local VC units and opening up secret caches of supplies. The Allies were overwhelmed by the scale and audacity of the subsequent attacks: by February 1, Saigon had been hit, along with 36 of the 44 provincial capitals, 5 of 6 autonomous cities, and 64 of the 242 district capitals of the South. Altogether, the Communists were fielding 84,000 troops--a mixture of NVA regulars and VCguerrillas--spread out to inflict maximum damage before the verstretched Allied forces could react.
