The typical Japanese section was 12 men strong, so it accounts for alot of staying power. After taking 3 casualties, they are still 9 men strong.

The main issue is their lack of Armour units which are able to go toe-to-toe against the big Russian, UK, USA tanks. But this is only largely a issue if you're fighting in say Mongolia, where the terrain is steppe and favours armour maneuvring. In most of South Asia, Southwest Pacific, it's all going to be thick jungle, punctuated by occasional dirt tracks and streams. So not much opportunity for armour to go fast and exploit flank and rear.
