I don't think so? Especially not when the attacker has around 10:1 superiority in artillery fire. I've only ever heard the "3:1 rule" but as I understand it that's only "you need at least 3 times as many troops to successfully assault a position" not "you will take 3 times as many casualties assaulting a position".
