Okay, so an EmRR is a long, continuous hillock. Would there be any reason whatsoever that a unit ON the hillock in BB13 (but not entrenched) could not see a unit in BB9 in the above picture? What about this? Could the unit in CC17 see the unit in W4, assuming the building in AA13 did not exist? The LOS leaves the EmRR and goes thru CC16.

BB13 has LOS to BB9. BB12 is "the same" hillock. See squad K & squad P in the giant chapter F hillock example. I use squad P to show entrenchment while ON a hillock does not matter. I believe it only matters when at ground level behind one, and then only to another ground level.
Per F6.411 a unit ON a hillock has LOS past the first hedge/wall on the LOS and to immediately behind the second. A rubble hex is treated as a hedge on the far side [F6.412] so the unit in CC17 can see past the rubble in Y8 but only to the first hexes behind another hedge, i.e. it can see X4 but not W4. If either the rubble or the X5 hedge did not exist (or both were not present) CC17 could see W4, again assuming AA13 is open ground.
