Is this what was done at Truk? Or did the garrison surrender when faced with starvation after the loss of their supply chain? The garrison surrendered in 1945 after they ran out of food and the USN cut off their supply.

That is wrong. They surrendered in September, 1945, half a month after Hirohito's surrender broadcast on August 15.

Have you seen the pictures of the garrison that did surrender? I suggest you examine them. Truk was doomed whether Japan surrendered in September or not.
