Well...if you're just trying to complete the game on hard and aren't worried about kills or score...
I'd say the best thing to do is stay well behind your fellow soldiers and let them do as much of the work as possible. They will kill the majority of the enemies. You will only be forced to kill a few guys to advance the level.
Also, you can also shoot at enemies, but won't get shot at much if you stay back.
Hope that helps a little.
