I'll say it straight: most likely not. Your Hachi probably won't make it to the boss node if you face any enemies in ASW formation, and neither will your other ships against the many BBs in the map. 2-4 Is a very difficult map - you don't have to rush it, just take it slow and focus on building your fleet and gaining levels. I personally cleared 2-4 at around HQ level 40.

Focus on building your fleet first - ideally, you'd want a composition of 4BB / 2 CV, or something along those lines. However, you should be able to clear the map with a composition such as this too: 2BB / 1CLT / 1CA / 1CVL / 1CV.

You can get BBs from earlier maps from world 2, with 2-2 perhaps being the best possible map for farming BBs. You can also get some ship levels while at it, which is always good. For CVs, I recommend construction.

After you have got your first BBs and CVs what you want to use, focus on leveling them to Kai, or in other words, remodelling them. Remodel levels vary, but they are usually around level 20-25 for BB, while CVs are a bit higher if I remember right. After you have remodelled them, the next step is to modernize them. At the stage you are, it is probably a pain to get them to 5 stars, but you don't really have to do that. Modernize them until they all have 3 Stars and that should be just about enough. Remember: patience is the key in Kantai Collection. However, it might be a good idea to give 2-4 a try now regardless, to see what it is really like. You'll probably get smashed and have to wait for repairs and pay steel & fuel bills, but it is not all that big of a cost in exchange for a valuable experience, and you'll never sink your ship girls no matter how much damage they take, as long as you don't advance when they are damaged to red.
