There are 2 sides to this wall - one with the camp of the bad guys, and the other side and a bit away are the good guy troops.
Stan inside the bad guys camp, opposite the opening, but about 30 feet in (away from attackers)
If you look at the wall from the bad guy's camp, you will see an opening in the middle (a "doorway"). On the left side of the opening (say, 20 feet to the left) is a set of stairs with a canon. You need to get up those stairs to the top. Kill anyone in your way. They die easy.
When you are at the canon, right click on the flare in your pack.
Run down the stairs (stay in the bad guys camp) and go to the other side of the "doorway" and about 20 feet to the right. Again, kill the bad guys at the bottom and maybe at the top (when I was playing, the place was crawling with players, so killing was reduced!).
Run up to the top, right click on the flare in your pack. Then jump off the platform, landing on the good-guy side of the wall and run to the officer there with the questionmark on her head. If you are being chased, they will kill the bad guys who are after you.

The cannons are in the towers. The eastern one is NOT located next to the sea and aimed to the wrecked battleship.

StorylineHowling Fjord, step 43 of 162

Rewards4,100 XP

Description

We should be able to kill our way back to our guns. Unfortunately, visibility is less than desirable so you will have to mark our targets from the ground. Take these smoke flares with you and use them to mark the locations of the cannons along the northern wall in the Derelict Strand, west of here, where the Alliance are holding out. Let Lyana know as soon as the way is clear for the ground troops. We can take care of ourselves over here.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Ambushed!Howling Fjord · Level 10-30
This should have been a walk in the park. Their forces are hungry, injured and ill equipped. Yet somehow, we walked right into their trap. We approached these reefs from the south to gain cover and were immediately boarded by the Alliance dogs.
