2.- In order to "win the fire-fight", I neccesarily have to take loses, I mean, what's the best way to minimize loses in the type of battle I'm currently playing (described above)?

Thank's in advance, and congratulations for such a great game.
Here's one hint.

If you are advancing with infantry ( or even defending ) the first units you want to engage the enemy with are your MG's and those need to be behind your regular infantry so they can provide support . Ideally you should have your MG's back far enough so they can engage the leading units of your opponents force without endangering themselves with return fire directed at them. That way you can pick the enemy units you want to suppress and you be safe from return fire unless he has MG's facing you. Also, to ensure your units are safe from enemy infantry return fire you need to suppress them to the point of "retreat". Once you have suppressed a unit to retreat status don't waste any more shots on it **IF** there are lot's of other enemy units in the area. Move on to another unit and fire until it is in retreat then move on to another then another. Fire your units that are farter away from the enemy first then move closer. There is no point in firing the closest units first as they will just draw a storm of opfire from your enemy. What you want to do is suppress those units with your units that are further back and THEN attack with the units you have closest to the front that have a higher chance of getting kills and / or generating big jumps in suppression
