Just go 2FBB/2CA/2DD, load night battle gear, and pray. Sometimes enemy will cut-in even with all night battle gear activated, your only hope is that you dodge or you trigger overkill protection and go to chuuha instead of taiha.

Double line all night battle nodes (or echelon/line abreast if you believe it adds more evasion, personally I'd rather not sacrifice my accuracy and eat more attacks for a little bit of increased evasion), line ahead the boss. I always double lined every night battle node (monthly 2-5 north clear, 5-3, Fall '15 E5 Hard), and never had too much trouble. Just keep in mind that few retreats are expected.

Drop any seaplanes you're bringing (except night recon), you'll be fighting in air denial at the boss (the only day battle), so they won't help. Equip radars/bulges on the vacant slots, or even turbines.

Personally I think I had around 50% success in reaching the boss during my clears, most of my retreats came from the Flag Ta on the second node, they're pretty accurate and can wreck pretty much anyone.
