After Shang Jinfeng received the report of the Southern Fleet, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, although Shang Jinfeng had full confidence in this battle before the war, but the battlefield was indeed changing rapidly, so before receiving a clear result, Shang Jinfeng also really took a lot of responsibility. At this time, the sky was already completely dark, so Shang Jinfeng ordered the Kunming ship and the Xiangyang ship to start, and ordered the Chitu and the Jueying to escort the captured warships to the fleet and sail towards the fleet respectively to join the north and south fleets.

Although the Yueyang and Sanya warships have good night combat capabilities, the electronic and information level of these two warships is not the top in the old time and space, so it is still a little difficult to take care of more than 40 warships, not to mention that there are many captured warships. If the Kunming ship had better rush over as soon as possible, it could control the situation.

Even though the Kunming ship did not use the power of a gas turbine and only used a diesel engine, the speed could reach 23 or 4 knots, so it only took about two hours to rush to the vicinity of the fleet.

When the Kunming ship arrived, it was already about 10 o'clock in the evening, the battlefield had basically been cleaned, and the soldiers of the expeditionary fleet who had fallen into the water had also been rescued and placed in prison by warship. According to normal practice, at this time, except for the crew of the night watch, everyone else on the warship should rest, but on the warships of the People's Army, it is still a hot scene, even if there are no soldiers who have a direct vigil, they can't sleep at this time, and they come to the deck to move, because they are too excited.

Before the war, the crossing soldiers knew about this war, so they were not in a hurry and confident. But the local soldiers are not so confident.

The navy is an extremely high-tech branch of the military, and the KPA has always attached great importance to the education of soldiers' cultural and scientific knowledge, and the cultural knowledge, technology, and international vision mastered by the soldiers of the navy are much stronger than the average level of society. Of course, this does not mean that the local soldiers are timid, but the normal fear of a powerful enemy, and before going into battle, in fact, most of the soldiers are already ready to fight to the death. The result of the battle was an incomparably brilliant victory, although most of the soldiers are still a little confused, I don't know how to win, but the victory is in sight, the result is in such a huge psychological contrast, the soldiers are emotional, sleepless at night, and it is reasonable.

On the other hand, although the war is over and the battlefield has basically been cleaned up, the aftermath is not yet finished; first of all, the wounded soldiers need to be treated, the bodies of the dead soldiers must be placed, and the warships still need to be repaired simply; even on the five modern warships, the war process of the statistics, recordings, and photographs of each warship is being summed up to restore the complete course of the war, and the losses, results, and other relevant data are counted, so as to make it easier to sum up the war in the future.

At the same time, it is necessary to repair the captured warships, after all, most of the captured warships are seriously damaged, and if the necessary repairs are not carried out, I am afraid that they will not be able to be dragged back to Shanghai, and to put it mildly, if there is a big storm now, more than half of the captured warships will be sunk, since these warships have been captured with great difficulty, it is natural that they cannot be allowed to sink, but must try their best to keep them until they are towed back. The wounded captive soldiers were also to be given the necessary medical treatment.

As a result, it was almost busy until dawn, most of the aftermath was almost completed, and the wounded were basically treated, whether it was the KPA itself or the prisoners, of course, some of them were too seriously injured and died due to ineffective treatment, and the bodies of the KPA soldiers were all preserved and brought back for burial, while the soldiers who died in the expeditionary fleet could only record their names, ranks, positions, Belonging to the warship, they left memorials, and their bodies were thrown into the sea, and most of the captured warships were also repaired as necessary, and they were basically guaranteed to return to Shanghai. In addition, the statistics of the war are out.

Due to the size of the expeditionary fleet, the results were divided according to the state and the unit:

Britain, 11 battleships, 5 armored cruisers, 6 protective cruisers, 16 destroyers, 6 transports, unknown number of killed, captured the battleships Discord, Majesty, Mars, armored cruisers Berwick, protective cruisers Crown and Nioper, as well as 2 destroyers and 7 transports, and captured a total of 3,827 British soldiers.

France, 4 battleships, 6 armored cruisers, 3 protective cruisers, 10 destroyers, 3 transports, unknown number killed, captured the battleship Suffron, the armored cruiser Kleber, the protective cruisers Burrod, Friant, Alger, 3 destroyers, 4 transports, and captured a total of 2,115 French soldiers.

The Russians sank 1 battleship, 5 destroyers, captured the battleships Glorious and Pantlemon, and 2 destroyers, and captured a total of 542 Russian soldiers.

The Netherlands sank 1 battleship, 2 protective cruisers, 4 destroyers, captured the battleships Seven Provinces, the protective cruisers Aruba and St. Martin, and 1 destroyer, and captured 683 Dutch soldiers.

In total, 17 battleships, 11 armored cruisers, 11 protective cruisers, 35 destroyers, 9 transport ships, 7 captured battleships, 2 armored cruisers, 7 protective cruisers, 8 destroyers and 11 transport ships were sunk, and 7,167 soldiers from various countries were captured.

The French protective cruisers Rioe and Galilee and eight destroyers were confirmed to have escaped, plus the Dutch armored cruisers Utrecht and the Republic, which were anchored in Kaohsiung in advance, the British armored cruisers Dionysus, which returned to Kaohsiung during the war, and the protective cruisers Blake and Grafton, and only these 15 warships of the expeditionary fleet survived.

The People's Army fleet itself sank five protective cruisers, namely Jinghai, Luohai, Haita, Haipa, and Haishi, and six destroyers, namely Hehua, Hexi, Haqing, Jimo, Jiangang, and Jiangli, with 916 soldiers killed and 1,875 wounded. Among them, 418 were killed during the battle, nearly half of the total number of casualties, which shows that the KPA also paid a certain price in order to seize these warships. But compared to the gains, the costs are undoubtedly definitely worth it.

Of course, the real price paid by the People's Army is not the sunken warships and the dead soldiers, but the weapons carried by the warships, after this battle, the Eagle Strike 100**, the Eagle Strike 18**, and the Haihongqi 9** are only left for mothballing 2 rounds, the Eagle Strike 83** only 6 rounds, the Haihongqi 16** only 12 rounds, and even the short-range small ** such as the Haihongqi 7 and Haihongqi 10 are not much left, and it can be said that this battle has almost exhausted the ** configuration of the 5 crossing warships.

However, this does not mean that 5 warships will be useless after crossing, or that there are only auxiliary functions such as providing early warning, shooting parameters, etc., and there is no direct combat capability, because modern warships are usually equipped with two types of weapons, one is used for surface warfare, mainly including anti-missile, air defense, anti-ship, land attack, etc., and the other is used for anti-submarine functions, including ship-launched and helicopter-borne, as well as anti-submarine.

Due to the short range and slow speed, it is almost impossible to use it for ship-to-ship combat in modern warfare in the old time and space, so modern warships are usually equipped with **or anti-submarine** are usually used to combat submarines, but in this era, modern ** is still a very effective strike weapon against warships in this era, and the threat to surface ships is actually far greater than**, because the warships of this era are very effective in ** The defense is mainly based on extreme time discovery, mobile evasion, so there is very little armor protection in the waterline of the warship, even if there is a lightning protection design, the armor thickness is only 50-100 mm, and the defense of the first is still not high.

Now there are a total of 52 rounds of fish 7 type **, 28 rounds of long tassel 5 anti-submarine **, so it still has a very strong actual combat capability, and in this battle, the People's Army did not use ** and anti-submarine **, on the one hand, because it is more troublesome to use, it is better to use ** easily; on the other hand, these weapons also have other uses, can not be used, or not used as well, after all, only use ** can also fight this battle.

But if Britain, France and other countries think that the People's Army will run out of **, so they organize a fleet of the same size and continue to wage war, the People's Army will also be able to defeat them again by relying on ** and anti-submarine **. After all, the gap between the two sides is not the concept of one generation and two generations, but the difference between the technology at the end of the third industrial revolution and the technology at the end of the first industrial revolution is two eras.

Of course, the possibility of Britain, France, and other countries starting another war is not very large, and it is almost zero, after all, after such a fiasco, I am afraid that no country will dare to start a war of the same scale again, and now the governments of Britain, France, and other countries are afraid that they will be exhausted in response to the questions of the Congress and their opponents, and they will have the energy to organize a new war again, so it can also be said that by this time in this Far East war, the basic overall situation has been decided, and the enemies of the East China Government have no ability to compete with the East China Government militarily.

At this time, an orange glow appeared in the eastern sky. Suddenly, a shining light appeared in the sky, piercing the gray sky before dawn, and the golden morning light gradually dyed the sky and the sea red.
