Walkthrough

Group all of your forces into a pile, then head north and attack the forces in the closest city. You should be able to severely damage them or even destroy them, but if you start to get too damaged, retreat into your base to heal.
Use your Engineers to construct five or six anti-aircraft batteries along the top-right edge of your base. Bombers will try to attack from that direction, and if you don't have enough firepower to destroy them before they reach your base, you won't stand a chance of winning this mission.
Once you have a secure defense against the bombers, start building up your base until you can build two groups of four Heavy Tank units. Get all of the upgrades for them, then head north and take the two closest cities if you don't already have them.
You'll need to destroy three Armor HQs to win the mission. The first one is easy - it's almost completely undefended in the lower-left corner of the map. Simply take your tanks over there and destroy everything you can find.
The second one is in the top-left area of the city on the other side of the river. That city is heavily defended. You'll want to make several fast swipes into the city to destroy buildings and enemy tanks, then retreat to heal your tanks.
By now, your ally in the north might have destroyed the Armor HQ south-west of his base. If so, you can just suicidally rush the one you're after right now. If not, keep making raids until you can safely destroy the one you're after, then use the city to heal your tanks. Lend your ally a hand once your units are repaired. Once that third Armor HQ is destroyed, this simple mission is over.
