Not true. If you can't afford to use your automatic weapons (for fear of harming civilians, say) or the range is too short to allow standoff and dispersal (in tunnels or a dense labyrinth, say), it might be doable.
A Master Tactician (as described) would allow his swordsmen to begin the engagement from
inside the squad formation and with the advantage of surprise -- probably because he concealed them well enough for the squad to pass over and around them, unseen. Not very likely, granted, but certainly possible -- it happens with depressing frequency in jungle warfare -- and we are talking about the ultimate expression of the skill, after all.
