“Viet Cong” (more accurately, nationalist resistance and CIA-backed anti-Diem sectists & pseudo-gangs, all three of whom were fighting Diem’s army and security apparat) killed in South Vietnam, 1961-63:

Bernard Fall. The Two Viet-Nams: A Political and Military Analysis (London: Pall Mall Press, 1963), p.349: “Official South Vietnamese casualty figures …three years in a row, ‘enemy’ casualty figures were estimated at more than 30,000 killed, while the number of Viet-Cong combatants remains stationary at about 25,000-30,000.”
