According to the press conference’s organizers, the victory of Tau O Post on Road 13 caused heavy damage to the U.S. and Saigon troops. This glorious feat-of-arms of Division 7 under Army Corps 4 and Binh Phuoc's troops and people completely destroyed the enemy’s intention of attacking and encroaching on the liberated area in the Southeastern theater.

In the victories of Tau O post in particular and Nguyen Hue Campaign in general, our troops and people showed high combat determination, bravery, not being afraid of hardships, difficulties, and enemies. In the victory of Tau O post, we won over the enemy in strategic, operational, and tactical terms, importantly contributing to the success of Nguyen Hue Campaign in the Strategic Offensive 1972, opening a new stage for the resistance war against the U.S. imperialists, forcing them to negotiate to end the war in Vietnam.
