This would be a Luxembourger equivalent of Switzerland's plan against Nazi invastion, which was to blow every tunnel in the country to cause major economic dislocation in Greater Germany and Italy, as well as slowing down the invader's mobility.
Does this mostly just create a highway for the next day? Incinerating the country is a little different than closing down the tunnels.
I remember I burned a forest on my flank long ago in Crescendo of Doom. It worked. Then I thought more strategically. Basically I realized that I won the battle, lost the war (battle tomorrow). In Luxembourg's case, would also destroy what you are defending.
