The intro of this mission says that able and dog companies are ordered to secure the road to Montebourg. So a convoy codenamed the "Red Ball Express” can go to Montebourg. In a second cut scene you see Dog Company trapped in a building and requesting support. Now the mission begins: you have to relieve Dog Company. This is not so hard, just let your tanks drive to them and let them kill all Germans on the courtyard. The only threat to your tanks is a StugIV and a Puma.
Once Dog Company is relieved they will join you and you will get an HQ, use Dog Company’s engineers to fix your tanks and then retreat to your HQ. At your HQ you have to build a motor pool as quickly as possible and make AT-guns. Because the Germans will keep on attacking you with Puma’s, StugIV‘s and when after a few minutes the Panzer grouppen arrives, Panzer IV’s. To increase your resources you should capture the nearest fuel point with your riflemen. You can also capture the munitions point just north-west of your HQ and capture the abandoned Pak38 AT-gun.
Once you have build enough AT guns to properly defend your base build a tank depot and the other base structures. The screenshot indicates a way how to defend your base with AT-guns.
When you just keep on defending your base like this the PanzerIV’s will keep on coming and you can easily complete the bonus objective. Now train one or two snipers and move east to the munitions point. Here you will encounter some German Pak38 AT-guns which are easily taken out by your sniper(s). Now clear the whole east part of the map and capture and secure all strategic points there.
At the north-east edge of the map is the Axis forward base. When attacking this you should first take out the two Pak38 AT-guns with your snipers (see screenshot)
With the AT-guns gone you can charge in with some tanks and armored cars, take out the mortar teams indicated on the screenshot first. Use the 'Allied War Machine' or 'Field Repairs' powers when needed. After this go back to your HQ and start moving north-west along the edge of the map. Now you can easily take out the German Pak38 AT-guns from behind, because they are all aiming at the road. Capture and secure the munitions and the fuel point you pass by. Now you can focus on the main objective: capture the crossroad. This is pretty easy now because you’ve taken out all German AT-guns. Move in with one or two tanks and slaughter the German infantry. (See screenshot)
When you’ve killed the German infantry defending the crossroad, order some riflemen or engineers to capture the strategic point there. A short time after you’ve captured the point the “Red Ball Express” arrives. Your next objective is to secure one of the two roads leading to the edge of the map. On the north road is a German Pak38 AT-gun so it is easier to take the south road. Upgrade one of your Shermans with the “crab” mine flail and let him drive in front because the Germans have mined the road. (See screenshots)

When you have taken out all German infantry defending the road capture the two strategic points and the “Redball Express” will start moving.
Note: capture the two strategic points quickly because the Germans will launch a huge infantry attack on the "Redball Express”.
