Unless these orders don't include the Advance phase movement, consider the following points.
The units in O10 and P9 can't see anything so they can't support the unit in O9. The unit in O9 has an ATR which is useless against infantry (or main opponent). Why attack with less then 1/3 or your force? That one squad will get shot multiple times and is unlikely to be able to counter attack. If all three squads are on the line the enemy will split their fire up and you will have survivors to shoot back.
That mortar is the most effective weapon you've got but it can't move and fire. The more shots we fire, the more enemies go down.
Also, when units rout, they run to the nearest trees or buildings. That means that by putting your leader in the open ground in O10 you insure that it will be unable to rally any broken units without moving. N9 would be a better choice, because that is where the broken units will run to.
Of course, if you are just baiting the enemy with that one squad so he reveals himself and are then planning on advancing the other two squads forward in advance phase, that looks like a good plan!
