I'm pretty much convinced these things can do AACI, even non-elite ones. Back in Winter E-5, I had a torpedo bomber on Taihou's smallest slot (8) - somehow, she often managed to lose all the torpedo bombers in just the first node, even though there were no enemy CV in that node at all (the enemy formation is shown on the right):

The fact she often lost all her torpedo bombers in just the first battle is honestly just ridiculous, considering she some other times managed to keep some torpedo bombers intact even in the boss node, even though Taihou always had to face the CV Oni pre-boss node. The only explanation I can think is that something in the first node performed AACI, which is most likely either the CL Oni or that Tsu-class elite.

Recently, I've also been doing 6-2 farming through a slightly longer route than the norm, 4 battles in total including the boss node. That map is abundant of Tsu-class ships (non-elite versions), but not so heavy on enemy CV, though there is a Takoyaki-Wo in one of the pre-boss nodes (possibilty for 2 in fact, but I honestly almost never face 2 of them). Yet, even though there is little air resistance most of the time, I've experienced instances where Hiryuu K2 had all her torpedo bombers from her 18 slot shot down by the 3rd node (node H). I've also had occasions where my Yamashiro K2 also had all her seaplane bombers shot down from her 23 slot by the 3rd node. In all of these instances, I did not face 2 Takoyaki-Wo or an Elite Tsu-class, just a single Takoyaki-Wo in node E and one or two normal Tsu-class in each node.

I really doubt all planes from such large slots could be shot down by a Takoyaki-Wo, couple enemy CVL and by some normal AA fire. No, it is either some enemy ship doing an AACI, or some sort of black magic is being in work here. The Tsu-class has officially turned into my most hated enemy in the game...
