Base facilities will receive varying amounts of damage upon capture, whether you bombard or not. A pre-invasion naval bombardment will for sure tear everything up, and it will not necessarily produce the effect you are looking for. A naval or air bombardment's main effect on ground units is disruption, which pretty much goes away by the following turn. What you need is some artillery, which is plentiful in theatre. That way your ground attack has its own organic support, and you can blast away without having to worry about wrecking the place in the process. Bombard with all units for a few turns, then do a deliberate assault with the ground pounders while the artillery continues to bombard. Just be sure to bring plenty of supply.
