Start moving south. A nearby field is being defended by two of the remaining cannons and this will mike your job more difficult. We'll start off with the southern cannon, but the first thing you need to do is to place your teams correctly. There are some concrete barriers here (2 on the map) [#297] and obviously your men must use them in order to stay safe. Ignore attacks made by both cannons. As long your colleagues remain here, they won't die.
#297
I would recommend that you join your teams and help them to eliminate a few groups from the top of the hill. Like I've already said, you'll want to get to the southern 88 in the first place, so you'll have to clear your path. Once you're ready, start running in a straight line and you use a small ditch for cover (3 on the map) [#298].
#298
You should be able to eliminate a few enemy soldiers from where you're standing. It's important that you secure the surrounding area, because otherwise you couldn't continue with your journey. Use your men to suppress enemy troops. It's very important that you eliminate a heavy machine gun post (5 on the map) [#299] which is located near the third cannon.
#299
Get ready for a challenging assignment. Order at least two of your teams to start firing at the cannon. Run towards the 88. Once you're close enough to the cannon, you should notice a ditch in front of you (4 on the screen) [#300]. Hide there and make sure no one from the north attacks you while you're planning your next move.
#300
You may proceed towards the cannon. I wouldn't recommend approaching it from the north for obvious reasons. Instead, choose a small path located to the south-west of the cannon. This will allow you to surprise its crew [#301]. Kill the Germans and place an explosive device on the 88. Find a good cover while waiting for an explosion.
#301
Destroying the second cannon (8 on the map) is going to take you less time, but you still have to be extremely careful while trying to eliminate enemy units. Your teams may remain on top of the hill, however you must choose new targets for them [#302]. You could consider sending one of your squads to the south (3 on the map), but it shouldn't be necessary.
#302
Access to the final fourth cannon is hindered by two MG nests (6 on the map), however you should only focus on eliminating the western heavy machine gun post. Keep heading north and stay close to the eastern edge of the map. You should be able to find a large obstacle which you may use for cover [#303].
#303
Order one of your teams to suppress the Germans hiding inside a small hut (7 on the map). Wait for the right moment to make a move, leave your cover quickly and proceed towards this building. Kill the Germans with a machine gun without giving them a change to fight back [#304].
#304
There are only two more targets for you to eliminate. Obviously you must take out the cannon, but there's also a second MG next to it. Use grenades or lean out carefully. Either way, you must destroy the cannon [#305]. Doing this will trigger a new cut-scene. Get ready to be transported to a new location.
