I don't think even a combined Japan/ Germany attack would work even if hitler wasn't in charge. Would japan's airforce be able to strike Russian factories moved east?
It is over 3000 kms from Manchuria to Omsk or over 5000 kms to the Kuznetzk basin where the coal and other raw materials were obtained for the eastern factories. Pretty unlikely for the IJAAF to be able to reach the factories unless they can produce some of their late war heavy bomber prototypes.
