The November Offensive (2 November - 31 December 1943) was an allied operation during the Third Joyonghean-Quenminese War which was aimed to penetrate further through Central Joyonghea by means of the Inje-Chuncheon Road and to capture the city of Chuncheon, which was the first major city in Central Joyonghea. The offensive was to be one of the bloodiest battles ever fought in the theatre, with both sides pitting their best units and weapons to control a vital town of strategic importance.
As early as 1942, Grand General Cheon Sang-ji had designated Chuncheon as the next most important city in the country, being that this was where the road and railway routes converged from all cities in Joyonghea. He believed that whoever controlled Chuncheon will keep his troops fed and supplied for a long time. When the Quenminese captured the town in 1938, it subsequently hastened their conquests of nearly the entire Joyonghean peninsula by the end of 1939. Hanamura left the capture of the town to General Albert Crocker, who ordered Generals Chae Hwa-young and Edward Samegawa to advance along the Inje-Chuncheon Road.
