Company of Heroes 3 mission 9 walkthrough to capture the hill and earn the Soldier's Medal, including how to destroy the German artillery outpost.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Take the point to the right of your base and fortify it with an MG (machine gun) squad and an AT (anti-tank) gun.
  2. 2
    Bring a pair of rifle squads to the left field, led by a sniper and a Sherman tank. Eliminate the bunker and any infantry, then capture the point.
  3. 3
    Capture the rest of the points in this area, scouting with a sniper first. Use tanks on MG squads and capture points with infantry. Minimize losses to save resources for army building.
  4. 4
    Beware of snipers on the left side of the map beyond the hedgerows; use your tanks to eliminate them. Gain experience points (XP) to build howitzers.
  5. 5
    Build Shermans and get the howitzer as soon as possible. You can build Rangers later once you have howitzers. Secure the points to the left of your base and advance upwards.
  6. 6
    You will encounter a scripted event revealing the German artillery outpost. Use your artillery special power just before the fog of war (an area of the map you cannot see) covers the area again to destroy it in one shot.
  7. 7
    In the middle-right of the map, you will find a checkpoint (the small town from the briefing) with exploding oil drums. Blow up the drums and deal with the German defenses, including an 88 gun you can commandeer.
  8. 8
    Once the area is secure, send engineers to build two howitzers if resources allow, ensuring you have room in your population limit. With howitzers ready, move to the hill and bombard the enemy. Try to penetrate the hill from the bottom while minimizing losses. Use your sniper to reveal the area during shelling to maximize damage. Destroy threats to your tanks like AT guns, bunkers, and Panzers, then rush your tanks in to eliminate infantry.
  9. 9
    You should now be able to build Rangers. Build 3 squads of Rangers and a halftrack. Move them forward, avoiding German artillery barrages. Time the Ranger assault with a tank rush. Rush all your infantry into the hill.
  10. 10
    Your goal is to capture the point at all costs, expecting at least an 80% casualty rate due to the strong defense unless heavily shelled. The mission ends when you control the hill. This mission can take approximately 33 minutes and may require multiple attempts.
Tips
  • You need a lot of fuel and ammo to build up your army.
  • It is ideal to time the Ranger assault with the tank rush.
  • Unless you heavily shell the hill, the defense is very strong.
