You engage them under heavy MG and sniper fire, not to mention that you are supposed to engage them from distance where your fire is almost uneffective against the iron forged Japanese troops.

You mention the second battle.

In that one it would be advisable to split your forces or else the japanese will have a reserve from the south or north (depending your main attack) to stop your advance.

Just my opinion
