Not sure if this will help you but it worked for me...
I was playing that mission on normal difficulty and I did the following:
Placed the team you get at the start of the game in the woods near the spot where the fence wire is crushed by a tree; where 2 enemy guards are positioned ( I lost John Merill ) and ordered them to return fire only.
Then I placed, I think four men i rescued at the spot where the entrance is guarded by a few guards behind sandbags, returning fire only (before you place these guys, i recommend that you kill the guards patroling around the base with a knife and carry their bodies in the forest).
Finally, I placed 4 or 5 POW's far west, near the heavily guarded entrance and ordered them to hold fire.
Now, the thing is, this might not work for you at the first try, but keep trying and eventually you will succeed.
I oreder my men (at the crushed wire) to fire at will and when they shoot those 2 guards, about 20 more comes out of the houses. (
Be aware that when your men start shooting, The DSKHM Heavy MG at the entrance with the towers might start shooting at your men, so cover them from it's fire. And there will be an enemy convoy coming in 10 minutes.)
I lost 4 of my men and was left with only 1, Carl Dillan.
The next step is to kill the guards at the entrance with sandbags (easiest way is with a nade) and send your men forward, to the trucks and ored them to fire at will.
The last step is a bit complicated; athe the heavily guarded entrance to the west, select 1 of your men and go in Direct Control ( "END" ) then throw a nade to the DSKHM MG and quickly throw a nade at the few soldiers behind sandbags in front of you and order your men to fire at will and take cover.
And there you go, you should have the base clear in about 5 minutes.
DO NOT GO IN THE POW AREA UNTIL YOU HAVE DEALT WITH THE CONVOY
Then man the ZSU AA guns and prepare for the convoy.
The convoy will have about a tank and 2 apc's and a few trucks loaded with infantry ( They will keep coming if you killed all of the convoy, I recommend leaving the tank with a wrecked main gun and a blown off track so that they don't come anymore )
There you go, I hope this helped. I will try to get a few screenshots to help you.
