Stalin would try to perform a strategic retreat and stretch supply lines...
The issue is Sherman's entire plan is not to capture land but to make 200 miles by 60 miles of land uninhabitable which invariably means Sherman has built supply lines into his plan and is more then prepared. Say Atlanta is Stalingrad it doesn't matter what level of resistance Stalin would put up Sherman's plan is not to capture the city his plan is too burn the city to the ground as a symbolic sign of punishment for rebellion.
Stalin would wrongfully assume Sherman cares about holding territory and strategic points. Sherman plans is to glass the entire South if necessary. As far as Sherman is concerned.
