...You have no idea, do you? They had severe and brutal shortages of ammunition, no oil, and even the school children, old men and women were being conscritped to fight eith fucking wooden spears.
The Japanese didnt really have much to fight with and were starving. In fact, just delay the operation for six months and let Japan starve some and keep firebombing them.
And many American soldiers had resorted to simply never taking any prisoners because of far too many incidents of false surrendering plus grenades.
This combined with total american fire superiority and you have and horrendously lopsided ratio of bloodshed with the possibility that American soldiers end up burning and blasting nearly everything and shooting everything else.
Its a brutal bloody curbstomp and the Japanese had decided to mobilize nearly there enire populace, even with just fucking knives and spears, to banzai charge the American lines or just hold the fight suicidally. This would have resulted in a horrendous slaughter that wouldnt have had any equal. And then there is the question of if America would start feeding them soon enough before mass die off due to the winter and starvation occur.
And with th maasive material and numerical superiority the American forces would have wnjoyed, not to mention being properly fed, itvwould have been a massacre.
A horrendous genocide brought on by Japanese refusal to surrender and ruthless use of firepower.
Four million American casualties at worst.
Now as far as the Soviets...by 1947, they will be starving and running out of oil and ammo and reenforcements and what industry they had left bombed to hell, nukes or no. Most American casualties will be when the Soviets are expending all the ammunition they still have left over and the food they have left over.
After that, they will have simply ran out of people to throw into the meatgrinder. While America has 10 million more left and plenty of logistics, tanks and firepower.
In fact, just securing beachheads and then letting the Japanese starve some more until the middle of Spring would be perfectly easy. Especially since the Japanese cant replace expended ammunition to any releva.t degree..
