According to some sources of the times, it would have been like a million, (soldiers not civilians) but this is from american propaganda, which was claiming something like 1:20 kill ratios. This highly unlikely. I also think its hard to get a specific number because its hard to say who was actually Viet Cong and who was just a civilian...But there are probably some decent numbers out there.
Wikipedia claims:
Total dead: Official Vietnamese estimate: 1,100,000 Wounded: 600,000
