Despite this assault, many of the communist forces escaped westward, deeper into Cambodia, or to the rural areas of the north-east, where they would provide support for the insurgency against Lon Nol.
Akibat serangan ini, banyak pasukan komunis melarikan diri ke arah barat, kedalam Kamboja, atau ke daerah pedesaan di utara-timur, di mana mereka akan memberikan dukungan untuk pemberontakan melawan Lon Nol.
