They might try to but it wouldn't necessarily work, their is lag in finding out the missiles are coming, lag in ordering the launch, lag in those orders being distributed and then lag in the actual launch. The main thing is that both sides have nukes that are almost impossible for the opponent to reach in various forms, one of those being the submarines.
So then why build/place those ICBM's in those nice bunkers in the Midwest in the first place?
Because it is flat and easy to maintain the facilities since you don't have to climb a few mountains, and it's easy to move ICBMs via roadways and aircraft to be placed into silos.
