Though the Japanese did push the British out of Rangoon this is small potatoes compared to the amount of territory they would have to contend with trying to move into Russia. There have been a lot of discussions about the Russian soldier's morale. The Russians had superiority in men, material, armor and artillery. The Russians might have taken some initial losses but seriously, not a chance the Japanese would be able to overcome the Russian superiority and their own inadaquacies at supplying their far-flung troops.
