<<May you bulldoze away the few bodies at the top of the mound, certainly
killing or hastening the death of one, so as to reach the far greater
number of soldiers further down as rapidly as possible? It would give
you the greatest chance of saving the most lives. But the bulldozer
operator would be actively killing.>>

R Zilberstein also discusses this case in the shiur I mention in another
post.
Actually this story happened to the Pnei Yehoshua who gives thanks to G-d
at being saved (whatever the equivalent of the bulldozer was in those days)

Bottom line R. Zillberstein seems to allow it. He also points out that these
questions involve lives any in theory should be decided by a Sanhedrin.
