Well I dont know about any other army but I imagine the Soviet Union would have just used heavy bombers and lots of artilary to
a) create cover
b) demoralise
c) create fear
d) supress
They would then just roll through with tanks APCs and Infantry.

Sounds like what the book would be calling for indeed... at least until, say, mid-90s!
They tried that in Grozny, and I think we all know the result it had at the moment!
Urban assault in a Cold-War-Gone-Hot setting s an interesting thought, but in that case, given the highly mechanized character of any assaulting force (on both sides), the strategy of avoiding and encircling cities would have prevailed IMHO.
Dunno how much the Soviet high command was aware of the western defensive tactics though....
