Are these the only options?

I would think fighting from a strongppoint is OK. Except in this case your enemy is coordinated AND it sounds like he has the gear to hurt you (RPGs etc) despite the hard cover.
So i'd go mobile and negate his advantage. Float like a butterfly. Give him moving targets (mortars etc are harder to use???) or better still dont give him a target.
It sounds like your defending a town against a better opposition. So use your hit and run tactics and behave like rebels (sorry, couldnt think of a better word).
Can you somehow string your enemy out and take him out in bite size chunks? Maybe thats the example you used at the start re elastic defence.
