I used a combined fleet of BBs, Akagi and Iona.

Ships and equipment:

Akagi (65) with 3 torpedo and 1 air superiority squad.

Fusou (89) with two 41cm, 15.5cm and the Prototype Seiran squad.

Kongou (96) with two 46cm, 41cm, 15.5cm

Nagato (50) with two 46cm, 41cm, Type 32 radar

Kirishima (92) three 41cm, 15.5cm

Iona (21) 53cm torpedo, midget sub

Akagi and Fusou do the initial airstrike, taking out most enemy planes together with the AA fire from the 46cm guns

and dealing good damage to the enemy fleet often destroying 1-3 ships.

After that Iona takes out another enemy ship and the remaining enemies are BB food.

It's a bit ressource hungry, because Haruna and Kirishima tend to decimate your fleet at the boss node.

Even with all ships on full HP they still managed to do that.

I even had to retreat once after only damaging Haruna, since three of my ships were at around 6 hp.

However I never had to retreat from a normal node, even the much feared north route was no problem.

It's weird though I tried other combinations before adding Akagi, and always got the north route.

Maybe I'm just paranoid and it was bad luck.
