Well yes the RG had similar tactics even when they were on Terra, each legion often fought in a manner that would have been preffered by theri own primarch  Genetic memory or simple predispositions or something I guess.

And yes obviously many of the original insurgents were dead even before the Isstavn massacre but they andtheir primarch would have left theri mark on their legion by that time and those traditions would have lived on even if Corax himself had fallen.

The main strength of the RG is their flexibility, which means yes they would utilise the kind of bloody fast paced assaults you describe but that is not what they are famous for.

They are known as masters of sleath and no one can deny that when it come sto sleath there is no one better than the RG. However tactical flexibilty is their main strong point which is also a reason why they focus so much on intelligence gathering where other chapters would just go charging in.
