The Soviets maintained significant reserves in Siberia and the far east throughout WWII so the idea that it would've been a walk in the park for them is laughable. The Japs had WWI tier ground tactics and equipment which favoured them in tiny fortified island garrisons and against Chinese peasants armed with spears, but not against a mechanized military with state of the art tanks, artillery and aircraft.
reminder that the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, the size of France, took only 2 weeks and was done almost entirely by green reservists who had been sitting in the far east for all of WWII

For example during the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, cavalry were deployed in regions deemed impossible by the Japanese to launch mobile assaults from such as the Gobi desert, mountain ranges or thick taiga. They were able to operate at similar speeds to motorized units in places where it was impossible for motorized vehicles to operate logistically
