Operation Needle Stack (15 November - 29 November 1944) was a major airborne operation that took place in Joyonghea during the Third Joyonghean-Quenminese War. It was considered to be the operation that gave the Allies a dagger thrust towards the Quenminese lines. Vital objectives include securing key bridges at Anseong, Sinchang, Tanchon, and Kimchaek to provide a way for the XXX Eastern Corps to push through and take the city of Kangjon, the last city before Chongjin.
The operation had two phases, Needle which was the initial airborne drops behind enemy lines. Stack which was the attempt of the Third Rubrumian Army to engage the western flank and to reach the city of Eensyeong by means of the city of Tongjon, just 15 kms west of Tamseon. The timely arrival of the Rubrumian-Jutlandish forces at Tongjon enabled the XXX Eastern Corps to push through Tamseon without the worry of enemy reinforcements intercepting the column. By the 25 November, elements of the Lucis 11th Army linked-up with the airborne forces at Kimchaek, completing the primary objective. An Imperial counterattack to retake Kimchaek ensued on 27 November but the offensive was bogged down with the arrival of the Rubrumian-Jutlandish forces, causing the Imperial forces to call off the attack.
The operation became a major success for the Allies as it only served to accelerate General Kurosawa's march to the north by securing key cities and further splitting the Imperial forces in the east away from the main force located in the west of Joyonghea. This finally prompted Kurosawa to march to the border of Churuongchandat, where the invasion of Churuonchandat simultaneously took place with the Battle of Chongjin, which ended Imperial presence in Eastern Joyonghea and leaving only the Northwestern region still under Imperial control.
