A last-ditch defense was made by the ARVN 18th Division at the Battle of Xuân Lộc from 9–21 April. As a consequence, Thiệu ordered a withdrawal of key army units from the Central Highlands, which exacerbated an already perilous military situation and undermined the confidence of the ARVN soldiers in their leadership.
