It sounds a bit like the maze of tunnels the Japanese built on Mount Surabachi on Iwo Jima. I believe the U.S. forces made heavy use of flamethrowers. Not to "smoke 'em out" so much as to "burn 'em out".

Most of the Japanese on Iwo Jima in the caves died from suffocation not burns.
The flamethrowers use up the oxygen and Bingo dead bad guys.
