我愈戰愈强，敵愈戰愈弱 (The more we fight, the stronger we grow; the more the enemy fights, the weaker he grows)
A giant red-printed Chinese soldier in a helmet looms over two much smaller Japanese soldiers who claw at the air inside flames, drawn with distorted, brutish faces, under a slogan that the enemy grows weaker with every battle. The tell: scale and caricature stand in for evidence, so the opponent is shown as subhuman and already beaten.
