Don't keep any units in the trenches at the top of the hill, until you need to defend the top of the hill. This will slow them down/spread them out as they stop to capture. During this time capture more munitions depots or CPs. You have five minutes before the Germans show up. I kept them as Engineers to repair gun nests, and the flamethrowers are a nasty surprise. Upgrade your engineers to use flamethrowers, or assign them to some of that heavy weaponry that's lying around. Build a couple well-placed machine gun nests on the approaches. Then place a buttload of mines on the ways leading up the hill. Recruit one more Engineer and quickly build Outposts at the Munitions depots.

I would not feel comfortable with only the reinforcements, and I suspect you will want to try the battle for Hill 341 (12) again. I have 3 partial Ranger units (8 men total), one regular infantry unit, one mortar crew, one engineer crew and one halftrack. I feel comfortable going into Counterattack (13). I was saved by the time, as the hill was overrun and I was barely able to keep them from taking the Control Point at the last. I just beat the previous mission on hard difficulty, on my second try.
