After receiving the report from the Southern Fleet, Shang Jinfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Shang Jinfeng had sufficient confidence in this battle before the war, the battlefield was indeed changing rapidly. Therefore, before the clear results were received, Shang Jinfeng was really worried. At this time, the sky was already dark, so Shang Jinfeng ordered the Kunming ships and Xiangyang ships to start, and ordered the Chitu and Jueying to escort the captured warships to sail towards the fleet and meet with the North and South Fleets.

Since it was dark at this time, it would be a very dangerous operation if a single warship launched a slaughter attack on the People's Army fleet. Although the Yueyang and Sanya ships had good night combat capabilities, the electronic information level of these two warships was not top in the old time and space. Therefore, it was still a bit difficult to take care of more than 40 warships, not to mention that there were many captured warships. If the Kunming ship was better to rush over as soon as possible, you could control the situation.

Even if the Kunming ship does not need to burn the turbine power, and only uses diesel engines, the speed can reach 23 and 4 knots. Therefore, it took only about two hours to arrive near the fleet. At this time, the north and south fleets were all selected to anchor in the sea area according to the squadrons. The captured warships also found another place to be stationed, and two cruiser teams were sent to guard. In addition, the People's Army soldiers were also sent to guard each captured warship, and the destroyers were sent to patrol the periphery of the warships, and the arrangement was quite orderly.

When the Kunming ship arrived, it was around 10 o'clock in the evening. The battlefield was basically cleaned up. The soldiers of the Expeditionary Fleet who fell into the water were rescued and placed in custody by the warships. According to normal practice, at this time, except for the crew members who were rotating to watch, everyone on the warships should have rested. However, on the warships of the People's Army, there was still a lively scene. Even soldiers without a straight-forward mission could not sleep at this time and came to the deck to move, because they were so excited.

Before the war, the time travelers knew this war, so they were not anxious and confident. But the local soldiers did not have such confidence.

The Navy is a military branch with extremely high technical content, and the People's Army has always paid great attention to the cultural and scientific knowledge education of soldiers. The cultural knowledge, technology, and international vision mastered by the Navy soldiers are much stronger than the social average. Therefore, they are well aware of the strength of the expeditionary fleet and are sure that they are not sure whether they can defeat this opponent. Of course, this does not mean that the local soldiers are timid and afraid, but they are normal awe of powerful enemies. Before going to fight, most of the soldiers have made the determination to fight to the death. Then they know that the result of the battle was an extremely brilliant victory. Although most soldiers are still a little confused and do not know how they won, the victory is in front of them. As a result, under such a huge psychological contrast, the soldiers are excited and unable to sleep at night, which is reasonable.

On the other hand, although the war ended and the battlefield was basically cleaned up, the aftermath was not finished. First of all, the wounded soldiers need to be treated, the bodies of the dead soldiers must be placed, and the warships need to be simple repaired. Even on the five modern warships, the warships are also counting, recording, and filming the war process, and summarizing the complete process of the war, restoring the losses, results and other related data, so as to facilitate the summary of the war in the future.

At the same time, the captured warships must be repaired. After all, most of the captured warships are seriously injured. If necessary repairs are not carried out, they may not be dragged back to Shanghai. To be honest, if there is a storm now, most of the captured warships will sink. Since these warships have been captured with great effort, they will naturally not be allowed to sink, but should try their best to keep them until they are dragged back. In addition, necessary treatment must be provided to the injured prisoners.

As a result, they were almost busy until dawn, and most of the aftermath were almost completed. The wounded were basically treated. Whether it was the People's Army itself or the prisoners, of course, some of them were too seriously injured and died due to ineffective treatment. The bodies of the People's Army soldiers were kept and brought back for burial. The soldiers who died in the Expeditionary Fleet could only record their names, military ranks, positions, and subordinate warships, leaving memorials, and thrown into the sea. Most of the captured warships also underwent necessary maintenance, which could basically guarantee a return to Shanghai. In addition, the statistics of the war also came out.

Due to the huge size of the expeditionary fleet, the results of the battle are divided according to the state:

Britain, 11 battleships sunk, 5 armored cruisers, 6 protective cruisers, 16 destroyers, and 6 transport ships; the number of casualties was unknown; the prisoners of battleships, Majesty, Mars, armored cruisers Berwick, protective cruisers Crown, Niober, and 2 destroyers, and 7 transport ships; a total of 3,827 British soldiers were captured.

France, 4 battleships sunk, 6 armored cruisers, 3 protective cruisers, 10 destroyers, and 3 transport ships; the number of casualties was unknown; the prisoners of battleships Sufferen, the armored cruiser Kleber, the protective cruisers Burrold, Fleonte, and Arger, 3 destroyers, and 4 transport ships, capturing a total of 2,115 French soldiers.

Russia, one battleship was sunk, five destroyers, and two destroyers were captured by the battleships Glory, Pantlemon, and two destroyers; a total of 542 Russian soldiers were captured.

In the Netherlands, one battleship was sunk, two protective cruisers, and four destroyers were captured; the battleships Seven Provinces, the protective cruisers Aruba, St. Martin, and one destroyer; a total of 683 Dutch soldiers were captured.

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

Those who confirmed escaped were the French protective cruisers Rioue, Galilee, and eight destroyers, plus the Dutch armored cruisers Utrecht and Republic, which were anchored in Kaohsiung in advance; the British armored cruisers Bircht Priest who returned to Kaohsiung during the war, the protective cruisers Blake, Grafton, and the Expeditionary Fleet were spared.

The People's Army fleet itself was sunk 5 protective cruisers, namely Jinghai, Luhai, Haita, Haipa, Haishi; 6 destroyers, namely Hehua, Hexi, Heqing, Jimo, Jiangang, and Jiangli; 916 soldiers were killed and 1,875 were injured. Among them, 418 were killed during the battle of boarding the ship, which was nearly half of the total number of casualties. It can be seen that the People's Army also paid a certain price to seize these warships. However, compared with the harvest, these prices are undoubtedly absolutely worth it.

Of course, the real price paid by the People's Army is not the sunken warships and the soldiers who died, but the weapons carried by the crossing warships. After this battle, only 2 rounds left for sealing of Eagle Strikes, 18 rounds left for sealing; only 6 rounds left for Eagle Strikes 83 rounds left; only 12 rounds left for Haihongqi 16 rounds, and even small short-range ** such as Haihongqi 7 rounds and Haihongqi 10 rounds left. It can be said that this battle almost exhausted all the five crossing warships configured.

However, this does not mean that the five warships will be useless after passing through, or that they only have auxiliary functions such as providing early warnings, shooting parameters, and no direct combat capability, because modern warships are usually equipped with two types of weapons, one is the ** used for surface combat, mainly including anti-missile, air defense, anti-ship, land attack, etc., and the other is the ** used for anti-submarine action, including ship-fired ** and helicopter **, as well as anti-submarine **.

Because the range of ** is short and slow, it is almost impossible to use ship-to-ship combat in modern warfares in the old time and space. Therefore, the ** or anti-submarine ** equipped by modern warships is usually used to strike submarines. However, in this era, modern warships are still very effective strike weapons for warships of this era, and the threat to surface ships is actually far greater than that of **, because the defense of warships in this era is mainly based on extreme times and maneuvering avoidance. Therefore, there is very little armor protection in the waterline of warships. Even if they have a lightning protection section, the armor thickness is only 50-100 mm, and the defense power of the ** is still not high.

Now the five crossing warships still have a total of 52 rounds of Fish Type 7* and 28 rounds of Changtao 5 Anti-submarine*, so they still have very powerful practical capabilities. In this battle, the People's Army did not use ** and Anti-submarine*. On the one hand, it is because it is more troublesome to use, so it is not as easy as using **; on the other hand, these weapons have other uses, and it is better not to use them, after all, you can fight this battle with only using **.

But if Britain, France and other countries think that the People's Army will use up all **, they will organize a fleet of the same size and continue to launch wars. The People's Army can also defeat them again by relying on ** and anti-submarine **. This also shows the strength of these modern armies. After all, the gap between the two sides is not the concept of one generation and two generations, but the technology at the end of the Third Industrial Revolution and the technology at the end of the Industrial Revolution is two eras.

Of course, the possibility of Britain, France and other countries launching wars again is not high, and it is almost zero. After all, after experiencing such a crushing defeat, no country dares to launch wars of the same scale again. Moreover, the governments of Britain, France and other countries are probably in a state of great difficulty in dealing with the questioning of Congress and opponents, and they have the energy to organize a new war again. Therefore, it can also be said that at this time of the Far East War, the overall situation has been basically decided, and the enemy of the East China government has no ability to compete with the East China government in military terms.
