Lets see, where should I start...
 * The point of 4-5 is that you actually bring a fleet which is actually balanced in both dealing with the surface targets along the way and helping you clear the surface escorts on the boss node. As you've brought 4 carriers with you, you only have 2 battleships which can effectively deal with wanko. You might be able to get away with that on earlier runs, but this is basically an unnecessary handicap you place on yourself. This setup will fail hard, especially if one of your battleships gets sent to heavily damaged state. Bring something more realistic like 3BB 3CV(B) instead or something.
 * You're bringing jets in 4-5. Considering you're dealing with an abundance of enemy, that is a red flag you're raising. Double minus points because you even brought fighter-bombers with you. Minimize your use of fighter bombers and use regular fighters instead.
 * Seriously, why are you even putting bombers in the smallest slots? Triple minus points for basically sending your bombers to death in an heavy map as 4-5. Because of the low slot size as well, the opening airstrike has a low damage output. Avoid doing that in the future.

While there are others here who are suggesting to use CA(V)s in 4-5, I strongly discourage that when you're in LD for the following reasons:
 * The day shelling is inferior to the battleships obviously.
 * The CA(V) become a liability if they are moderately damaged, as they can no longer effectively do reasonable damages against wanko. Battleships on the other hand, wouldn't give a damn whether they are healthy or not and still do full night battle cap damages against wanko, as long as theyre not heavily damaged. As you already suffer a 20% damage penalty from going to through the middle route, this magnifies the flaws CA(V)s currently possess.

You might want to start checking out the Equipment Guide, as I suspect you lack the basic understanding of how to correctly set up your carriers properly.
