I assume you're doing Easy?

There's not much you can do when the fleet's relatively underleveled save for Kongou, and equipment seems largely lacking. Sparkle and hope they miss. There's never a 'guaranteed' strategy in this game.

And remove Jintsuu, she won't contribute much on the main fleet (even if she could, day DA setup > day CI setup). She should then take Sendai's spot in the escort fleet, and her original spot should be taken either by a CA(V) or you go back to 2CVL. Didn't do Easy myself, but if the required airpower is really 0 you should just go ham on the torpedo bombers (which can do some really good damage like these,).

Take a break, go level Kitakami to 50, remodel and modernize her. The difference between her Kai and Kai Ni models is day and night. Ditch that Kirishima for a CA if you have one leveled. Forget the radars on the DDs, either go triple torps or double torps + starshell on Shigure and DA setup on Shimakaze.
