They did fight to the death, but what is ironic is how many never got to fight again at all after Japan's initial 1941 victories because they were cut off by the effective submarine campaign. Between October 1 1945 and December 31 1946, a total of approximately 5,103,300 Japanese were returned to their homeland by a mix of remaining Japanese naval vessels and surplus US vessels pressed into service. Most of them veterans from central China, Southeast Asia, Malaysia, the Netherlands East Indies who hadn't seen serious combat since 1941 or early '42. After years of relatively easy occupation duty aboard they were rather shocked to find how devastated Japan was. I'm sure the Japanese Army would have loved to have placed some of those troops in the Marianas or the Philippines or Okinawa but it just wasn't possible due to lack of shipping.
So keep up the one-man wolfpack. You're making it easy for the Army.
