Looking at your fleet, it's severely underlevelled according to your HQ level. Assuming you are ignoring ship-locking and going full easy, you will still struggle because most of your ships are under the recommended 50 level. From what i can see so far im guessing you only used certain ships in PVP and sorties, hence the high level BB's and CV's, and the huge level gap between ship classes. I'm very very worried about all areas of your fleet apart from your heavy ships. You must absolutely level up your DD's, CL's, CA(V)'s and CLT's if you want a chance of passing the early event maps, especially since you are lacking equipment such as the WG42 or Daihatsu to deal with installations/transport nodes.

Here's a list in terms of what you should prioritise (Here I am listing the really bare minimum btw, because you do not have too much time before Summer comes - before you read this, ):

-  Destroyers - Get at least 6 destroyers to 50+ (Preferably Kai Ni). Level the classes with high night-time dmg (Night DA) e.g. Yuudachi, and level destroyers who have high luck and torpedo stats to perform night CI (Yukikaze or Shigure)

-  Light cruiser - Get Abukuma to Kai 2 (Blueprint required) - she is literally used in every map. Grind is boring, but absolutely worth it because she can perform pre-battle torpedo with minisub. She gives Daihatsu - which you don't have >.< 

- Level Sendai to Kai 2. Provides all the night battle equipment that you need - very important - allows more crits ... etc

- Honestly you can finish the event with 2-3 high level CL's in your fleet. Would advise levelling Jintsuu.

-  Heavy cruiser/ CAV - Maya isn't really a priority to level since DD's can perform AACI if you have the right setup. Prioritise levelling around 4 CA's to at least 50+. Aim to get at least 2-3 of the Myoukou class to Kai 2 since you don't have much time left. In terms of CAV get at least 2 CAV's to minimum 50.

-  CLT - Get both of them to Kai 2.

-  BB's/BBV and CV's/CVL -   Your FBB's are fine. Get another BBV to 50+. CV's are relatively fine - Get a fourth CV to 50+. CVL - get 1-2 more high level CVL's, at least 50+, Junyou is a good choice - but her K2 is too high for u to grind im guessing.

- AV - This is one of the classes neglected the most. One of the most important ships because routing. Get either Chitose or  Chiyoda to 40+. This time levels don't matter too much because they don't do much in battles.

NOW EQUIPMENT WISE 

- Get 20.3 (2) or 20.3 (3) guns if possible. You should get 20.3 (2)'s from Myoukou class K2.

- You can't really do much about your 35.6's and 41cm's. Normally you would get 41cm prototype's ...etc, but you don't have enough time to do that.

- Craft until you have 4 AP shells and 4 Type 3 shells (Absolute must if u want to scratch soft/hard installations)

- Can't do much about your high angle guns - because you don't  have Akizuki class AACI dd's.

- Get 4 of each plane - Reppuu, Suisei 12A, Ryuusei Kai (Plain Ryuusei works as well).

- Craft more type 32 radars. Increases accuracy

- Craft more  ASW equipment - Get enough ASW equipment for a combined fleet (including both SONAR'S and depth charges). I would recommend getting more Type 3 Sonar and depth charges.

- Get night gear from Sendai

- Craft drum canisters (This may seem odd,  but this is for reducing transport node HP in the event.This is because you lack Daihatsu or Amphibious Craft to quickly deplete the HP bar). If possible you should try to get at least 1-2 Daihatsu craft. I've recommended K2 Abukuma for getting a free daihatsu.
