Re: Some random thoughts
MG fire is good, but 20-30 units of 100-125mm tank HE is even better for suppression. Add in a battery of 152 firing direct area fire from 3000m behind the front as well and things get interesting for any troops in that "suspicious" treeline...
The 73mm on BMP-1 is also good to add to a z-fire party, as is the 30mm autocannons on later ones.
Some of the units in your advancing phalanx may also be able to target spots 2-3 hexes into the tree line/village or whatever (depending on LOS and smoke) thus getting some deeper fires into the suspect patch.
The X-fire is of course entirely additional to the indirect assets in use to "mow the lawn" out in front of your advance. Apply liberally to anything remotely suspicious. Soviet tanks usually have 20 or so HE - so use 10-12 for the area bash, with a few kept for the fighting later.
