The nickname for the more general workhorse was the Huey:
(I could have gone Huey Lewis and the News, but Huey from FLC is cooler)
Whilst in the Vietnam War the Cobra was Bell ground attack helicopter, and so more likely to carry out a raid like this, the most iconic music and scene featuring Bell helicopters actually features standard Hueys, not the Cobra variant, because that's what the Phillipine Army had available for Coppola to hire:
