The way to level in 1-5 is 1 CL (flagship) with your best ASW gear (anti-sub.. so depth charge/sonar).. then 5 DD (whatever. doesnt matter)

Before HQ lvl 40. you do first 3 points.. then go back base.. resupply and repeat.

After HQ lvl 40, before 80, only do first point. and repeat.

This will be fine because Your CL will fire first (longer range). and kill the enemy single sub at node A.. then thats end of the battle. So it doesn't matter if all your DD have very low morale (red face).. because your CL will get MVP and keep high morale. and will always one shot kill the only sub at node A..

It is kind of boring... but so efficient and risk-free.. So it is suggested you take advantage of this as much as possible before HQ lvl 80. (since after 80, first node A become an enemy sub who can fire first ... therefore much harder to grind)

For the event it is recommended you have at least Sendai-Jintsu Kai Ni.. Sendai give you full night battle gear.. while Jintsu is the most powerful CL.. by the time you trained those 2 to Kai ni. you should have at least 5 high level DDs.. (you can train Ooi / KTKM / Kiso (your CLTs) this way too. remember do no KAI them. until level 50. because it will just use more resources per sortie)

Since you have Sendai Kai Ni already.. Just do Jintsu there.. and get KTKM and Ooi to level 50..

Which will take you a whole weekend proabaly.. then  you have the rest of time to do 3-2A grinding...
