How to unlock the Who Needs a Pendant? achievement in Call of Duty: WWII - Definitive Guide

At the start of stronghold as you are fighting the Germans on route the church you will be introduced to Aiello, he should crouched behind a wall. Use the D Pad, Aiello will throw you the smoke, throw, wait for mortar to strike, die, repeat 9 more times! Very easy

Maybe its bugging out for me, but this method did not work.
First I did a playthrough on normal, threw a fair amount of targeting smoke, probably not 10 though. Next I did a veteran playthrough, utilized my allies abilities every single chance I could, definitely threw more than 10 targeting smokes and still no achievement.
So I went back to stronghold and tried this guide, waiting a minute after each smoke, then dying and starting over. Did this 20 times and still no achievement. WTF

Same as above, as soon as the first shell hits the ground I reloaded the checkpoint, much quicker.

At the very beginning of the mission Stronghold, you are given the ability to request targeting smoke from Aiello. He will throw you a canister, which you can then throw into the street, wait for the air strike, and then reload the checkpoint. Repeat this 9 more times and you’ll unlock this achievement

This is also a really good place to get the achievement Potato Masher. Also located at the very beginning of the level, a grenade will be thrown at the feet of a few soldiers. Move up to them, and throw the grenade back. Do this 5 times and you’ll unlock that achievement as well

This support becomes available from the third mission "Stronghold". At the bottom right of the screen will be a circular indicator for Aiello. The outside of this indicator is a yellow progress bar that will fill up when you kill enemies. Once full, you are able to request a mortar signal smoke when you approach Aiello and press the D-Pad button shown.

There are not many scenarios in which you'll need to call in mortar strikes throughout the campaign, therefore it's recommended to follow the same tips for Pierson and Stiles which is to always request when available or utilise a checkpoint to rinse and repeat the request.

How the first opportunity to use appears (the beginning of the third mission) can be farmed by restarting the checkpoint
