(indeed the USSR entering the war against them was the biggest reason why they surrendered).

No, it wasn't. This is straight-up Soviet propaganda.

Yes it is. Obviously they were losing anyway and bound to surrender eventually but the USSR entering crushed any hope they they could somehow salvage the situation or keep some of their gains in China.
