Manning the LMG in Operation Swordbreaker

battlefield-3

In Battlefield 3, during Operation Swordbreaker, there is a point where you are told to "Get up on the wall and man the LMG".

I can get up there and man it and then prone, but I keep getting killed shortly after that. Anyone have a good strategy for getting past this point?

The easiest way to pass this point is to grab the LMG and then find cover, you don't actually have to kill anyone. It's all time based (or if it isn't, your squad makes short work of the small amount of people you need to kill), and then a helicopter will fly in and take out the rest.
