1 depth charge and 1 sonar is enough to provide you the hidden bonus. So as stated above, 1 depth charge and perhaps 2 sonars would probably be best.

I'll just list the fleet I used to clear 1-5. My equips are decent at best so I don't really understand how you're having problems. You can follow my composition but I'm pretty sure your fleet + equips are more suitable for getting a clear. I cleared it under 25 times or slightly lesser but I think it's the same for most people.

My fleet (HQ Level 84):

Level 33 Zuihou (2x Ju 87C, 2x Suisei Model 12A) *I don't know if I should be using torp bombers or dive bombers so I equipped her randomly.*

Level 61 Ise (1x Seiran, 1x Type 0 Recon Seaplane, 2x Zuiun)

Level 89 Shimakaze (2x Type 94 Depth Charge, 1x +10 Engine)

Level 74 Verniy (2x Type 94 Depth Charge, 1x +10 Engine)

And well, at least you got Hachi.
