Under the darkness of April 19, 1945, the training regiment of the Eighth Route Army's Hebei Central Military Region was keeping a close eye on the Xinzhongyi stronghold, and a decisive battle was imminent. But at this time, the situation changed unpredictably. Huang Shoufa, deputy commander of the training regiment, received intelligence that enemy reinforcements were about to arrive. This situation puts him in a dilemma, with the risk of continuing the attack or retreating. In order to cope with this dilemma, they had to find innovative strategies and decided to change the fate of the reinforcements.

The Great Counteroffensive of the Central Hebei Military Region was officially launched in the spring of 1945, and its first goal was to defeat the forces of the Han traitor Tian civilization. At this time, the Central Hebei Military Region established a training regiment, consisting of four district teams, of which Huang Shoufa of the 9th Division served as the deputy regiment commander. This special existence unit was tasked with capturing the stronghold of Xin Zhongyi, but due to its well-guarded fortifications and the cunning of the Tian civilization, several attacks were unsuccessful.

The reason why Tian Wenming became the number one enemy of the Eighth Route Army was not only because he surrendered to the Japanese invaders, but also because his stronghold was located in a very important strategic location, and if he could conquer it, it would be of great strategic value to the Eighth Route Army's central Hebei region. Therefore, Huang Shoufa and his troops were determined to take Xin Zhongyi, although this stronghold was called "Jiao" and was one of many hard bones.

However, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army did not work, lasting five or six days, the outer trenches did not break through, and the cloud ladder, which had been prepared for a long time, was blown off by the grenades of the puppet army. The military district decided to pursue innovative strategies, one of the suggestions being the use of tunnel tactics. The idea was endorsed by Huang Shoufa, who believed there was potential in this approach. However, Tian Wenming learned that the Eighth Route Army intended to use tunnel warfare and was very worried, because he knew that this tactic might turn the situation around.

Soon after, an Eighth Route Army soldier came up with a different approach. He took out a few matches, a move that made Huang Shoufa interested. The warrior explained his plan, which was to create an illusion by lighting matches to force the enemy to retreat. The plan sounds crazy, but in this desperate situation, Huang Shoufa decided to give it a try.

As night fell, several raging fires lit in the periphery, and Captain Yamada mistakenly thought that this was a stronghold that had been breached, so he ordered the withdrawal of his troops. At the same time, the puppet army saw the fire burning and thought that the stronghold had been lost, and they rushed to rescue their relatives who were taken hostage. This confusion led to the collapse of the organization of the puppet army, which further strengthened the offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

At dawn, the Eighth Route Army finally captured Xin Zhongyi, and Tian Wenming was captured. However, it is strange that the stronghold is intact, but the puppet army has fled because they mistakenly believe in the illusion.

This scheme not only succeeded, but also won the praise of the military district for the soldier. However, the story was not widely publicized and only a few people knew about it. This is also because Huang Shoufa was the only one in the know, and his fate was later full of drama. Then Huang Shoufa recorded this story in his memoirs and left it for posterity.
