No. Japan was arming every single person and would have fought to the death. Remember Manchuria?....well, the Russians were on their way and would have wiped Japan off the face of the Earth. The A-Bombs saved uncountable millions of lives.
For hours after the attack the Japanese government did not even know for sure what had happened. Radio and telegraph communications with Hiroshima had suddenly ended at 8:16 a.m., and vague reports of some sort of large explosion had begun to filter in, but the Japanese high command knew that no large-scale air raid had taken place over the city and that there were no large stores of explosives there. Eventually a Japanese staff officer was dispatched by plane to survey the city from overhead, and while he was still nearly 100 miles away from the city he began to report on a huge cloud of smoke that hung over it. The first confirmation of exactly what had happened came only sixteen hours later with the announcement of the bombing by the United States. Relief workers from outside the city eventually began to arrive and the situation stabilized somewhat. Power in undamaged areas of the city was even restored on August 7th, with limited rail service resuming the following day. Several days after the blast, however, medical staff began to recognize the first symptoms of radiation sicknessamong the survivors. Soon the Death Rate actually began to climb again as patients who had appeared to be recovering began suffering from this strange new illness. Deaths from radiation sickness did not peak until three to four weeks after the attacks and did not taper off until seven to eight weeks after the attack. Long-range health dangers associated with radiation exposure, such as an increased danger of cancer, would linger for the rest of the victims' lives, as would the psychological effects of the attack.
Two atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. With the prospect of further atomic bombs being dropped by the Americans, Japan had either to fight onto the bitter end, or surrender. Thankfully, by Japan surrendering, further bloodshed of American forces and Japanese civilians was avoided.

When the bombs exploded they demolished the buildings and vaporized the people also throwing radiation into the air making it uninhabitable where the bombs exploded.
