During World War II, why did the Japanese dare not engage in close combat with the US and Soviet armies?

First of all, during World War II, the Japanese did not fight the Soviet Union. It was after Japan surrendered that the Soviet army came into contact with the Japanese army. At that time, the Japanese army surrendered honestly-it was impossible not to surrender. The kwantung army responsible for defending the Soviet army has already been drawn out, leaving only an empty shelf.

Secondly, during World War II, the Japanese army dared and were willing to engage in close combat with the US military. In the early days of the war, the US military was rarely equipped with automatic and semi-automatic weapons. At that time, the Japanese army was extremely elite and liked to fight with the American army with bayonets.

By the end of the war, the US military was equipped with a large number of automatic and semi-automatic weapons, and the US military began to be unafraid of close combat with the Japanese. However, at that time, the quality of the Japanese army was greatly reduced, and they simply did not know how to avoid the melee with the US military. They also like to stab American troops with bayonets in vain, and then they are beaten into a hornet's nest by American automatic weapons.

Whether in the early or late period of the Pacific War, the Japanese army was afraid of fighting the US military in the middle distance. Because the Japanese March 8th rifle has a very long range, Japanese soldiers who are good at bayonet and marksmanship are not afraid of it, whether it is far or close combat. However, in the middle-distance battle (5- 100 meters), the Japanese army often suffered losses in the middle-distance battle with the US military because of its higher equipment and better machine gun performance.

In World War II, Japanese machine guns were a joke. Its actual performance is not as good as the Czech light machine gun of the National Army-China's industrial productivity is weak and it can't provide enough ammunition at all.
