I have a question.

Why didn't the Americans just Use what the germans used on the jews to force the rats to get out of this tunnel?

I mean if all tunnels is interconnected and all the veits are all there, why don't they just gassed all possible entries and exit points with some deadly gas, so that they will be force to get out and just shoot them? I mean just gassed them with an powerful engine that could fill up the whole system in a matter of minutes or so.

>...In fact, deliberately luring tunnel rats to their deaths inside the holes was an early Viet Cong tactic and often involved a particularly unpleasant way of killing them. Two or three tunnel rats would be encouraged to proceed without hindrance down one level, as Vo Thi Mo has described. Even the Viet Cong could not predict the girth of the lead tunnel rat, but what was inevitable was that he would have considerable difficulty when trying to wriggle up through the narrow trapdoor that led back to ground level. He had to come up head first. There was no choice.

>Originally, this one dreadful moment of weakness was exploited by the tunnel defenders by shooting the man as he emerged. But soon they refined a more practical technique. As the unfortunate point man cautiously put his arms and head through the hole, a guerrilla would wait with a sharpened bamboo or even an iron spear, which he would plunge through the GI’s throat with tremendous two-handed force. The soldier remained impaled, his body wedged in the trapdoor, a grotesque human cork in a bottle, held in place by the spear resting on both sides of the shaft. The tunnel rats below could neither throw grenades up nor pull their dead point man back down. Their only option was to return the way they had come. Naturally, the Viet Cong had made appropriate plans for their perilous return journey.

>Vo Thi Mo recalled the Americans’ fury when their comrades died in this way. They would respond by hurling satchel charges or grenades down the tunnels, but of course this did not cause much structural damage. “When they used gas it was more of a problem for us,” she explained, “but we started to isolate the gas by keeping specially shaped rubber-tree trunks in the tunnels and then using them as plugs in the narrowest part of the tunnel, to prevent gas passing through. It worked well and sealed the tunnel, but we did run out of rubber trees after the Americans began using Agent Orange to poison our land.”

That representation of the tunnels is highly unrealistic. I've been to Cu Chi and other tunneled areas and several guides there told me that tunnels looking like this is mostly a post-war propaganda thing. 95% of the tunnel were just short and shallow and used as quick escape mechanisms or for surprise attacks. Like a few vietcong would wait for a US patrol to pass by, open fire for a short while and then quickly duck into tunnels before the US patrols could catch them. They'd emerge after say 50 or 100 yards of tunnels and then make their escape above ground.
There are a few instances of tunnels being lived in for longer periods of times but mostly these were used as cover against bombing or shelling. Not as bunker systems on the front line of combat, as implied here. The Vietnamese government likes to promote this idea though because it reinforces the idea of a bunch of simple rice farmers using genius tactics to beat a superpower.

Communist guerrilla troops known as Viet Cong (VC) dug tens of thousands of miles of tunnels, including an extensive network running underneath the Cu Chi district northwest of Saigon

Communist forces began digging a network of tunnels under the jungle terrain of South Vietnam in the late 1940s, during their war of independence from French colonial authority. Tunnels were often dug by hand, only a short distance at a time. As the United States increasingly escalated its military presence in Vietnam in support of a non-Communist regime in South Vietnam beginning in the early 1960s, North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops (as Communist supporters in South Vietnam were known) gradually expanded the tunnels. At its peak during the Vietnam War, the network of tunnels in the Cu Chi district linked VC support bases over a distance of some 250 kilometers, from the outskirts of Saigon all the way to the Cambodian border.

These tunnels are enlarged to fit western tourists and still its impossible to describe just how hot and claustrophobic they are. It's incredibly tiresome to crawl around in them at any reasonable speed. Not knowing how much further you have to go before you can emerge again, staring into darkness and knowing you can't turn around and go back is unpleasant to say the least.

The answer is drugs, combat drugs :

>“We had the best amphetamines available and they were supplied by the U.S. government,” said Elton Manzione, a member of a long-range reconnaissance platoon (or Lurp). He recalled a description he’d heard from a navy commando, who said that the drugs “gave you a sense of bravado as well as keeping you awake. Every sight and sound was heightened. You were wired into it all and at times you felt really invulnerable.”

>The standard army instruction was rarely followed; doses of amphetamine were issued, as one veteran put it, “like candies,” with no attention given to recommended dose or frequency of administration.

The longest successive time spend underground was just short of 200 days. This was in tunnels designed to protect against shelling and bombing, not designed to play an active role in an infantry front.

The smaller tunnels used in front line combat? hot as fucking balls. Even the tourist versions had me dripping with sweat after just a few yards. The uncomfortable posture you have to take to be able to 'walk' in them also doesn't help. The larger tunnel networks used as bomb shelters (like I said before, not very common), we're surprisingly comfortable. They somehow managed to get the things pretty well ventilated, making it a nice cool retreat from the blistering outside heat.
