IMHO just like in real life: Bomb them out with mortars, or if it's a bunkerlike fortification with limited field of view, try to get around it and throw a couple grenades inside. Or use some well-placed satchel charges to reduce it to rubble.

Frontal assault, with truckloads of casualties, is a Bad Idea.
AFAIK all officers have learnt the lesson since WWI. It's far too bad for troop (and civil) morale, not to mention you'll really need *a lot* of sacrificial lambs to get the machinegunners to spend all their ammo reserve...
IMHO, if you do this with your militia, you won't be able anymore to train militia afterwards. They are not crazy, they don't want to die because of some boneheaded officer lacking basic tactical skills. Same thing about mercs, and even worse: They are there to make a living, not to sacrifice themselves...
