What did they do to make the enemy think "something" was a HQ?

By the way, the question asked pertains to the last line of the page in question.
They probably constructed another lifelike HQ building to fool the enemy.

Yes, the idea would have been to draw the enemy's fire onto some area where it hopefully wouldn't do too much damage. As Marie says, they probably tried to make it look as if there was a dug-out at the dummy position.
On occasion, they also did things like line dummy soldiers (wooden cut-outs) along the trench, to make it look as if it was more heavily occupied than it was.
