I hate say this but most of my retreat was on that damn pre boss.On my last 60~ sorties, i started to use one LBAS. That LBAS was full with figther planes and only on the boss. In theory, you could use your second LBAS full with fighters planes on pre boss to soft things up a bit. But if you have the baux, just continue what you are currently doing. I used AA-CI on second fleet but you could use it on main fleet but the trade off might be one less BB to the boss.

CVL,4FBB (Roma with seaplane fighter),CVL I could not get AS on first node (Only when two wo-kai and NU apeared). CVLs is just reppuu mules. I did use FCF.

1CL(Abukuma)3CLTs,2DDs. Any of Akizuki class is fine. This was my set up after my 150 sorties. I would just settle down with A rank.

Later on, i would switch 1CL(Abukuma,CA(Maya),2CLTs and 2DDs, Ayanami and Poi. Trying out sonar DA with sonar. Mixed result honestly.

When i started to switch over my LBAS to pure fighters. That means i would have to give up on effective free chance to kill CV himes off.

I don't think i have any good  advice to give you, giving up on LBAS bombers gave me some headache on the boss, not always but every now and then i would get B rank or even C rank because i failed to kill 8 enemies. Few rare cases, i would be able to S rank it. Trade off is really bad but when you are on so low baux, sacrifice must be made.
