The first counter shows the aerial battle results, which includes both bombers and fighters. The second counter shows the number of bombers shot down by AA, but only includes those who survived the aerial battle. So if you shoot down all bombers in the first phase, the second counter will show a 0.

You can easily check this by going to any map with an enemy CV on the first node. Note that the counter for your bombers shows a slightly lower number than your maximum capacity, even on the first node.
