Burn the forests to delay the incoming forces and retreat...literally a scorched earth defense would have been the most effective use of the limited forces. 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.
