Three bits of advice:
1. Don't string your troops out in a long line for an assault.
You want to apply a lot of force at a small part of the front to punch through. A rule of thumb is 3:1 So you will want a company to assault an area defended by a platoon, if possible.
2. Supression
You must get the defenders supressed. Preferably with direct fire, but use area fire (z-fire) if don't have LOS. Having 3 platoons against 1 will help you do this.
3. Using good tactics like 'fire and movement'.
Stationary units fire far more accurately. Use them to supress defenders, then move another platoon forward.
If the defenders fire at a unit, fire back at them with another unit. A units fire becomes more accurate each consecutive time it fires at the same target. So by engaging the defender with several different units, you force the defender to return fire in several directions, making their fire less accurate.
Hope this helps
