Resources
I'd say you should focus on Bauxite as well. Please know that Bauxite isn't a low-priority resource like in the past.

I'd recommend you spam
 * Expeditions 2 (ammo/bucket)
 * Spam spam spam
 * Expedition 5 (fuel + ammo)
 * use of 6 ships with full sparkled fleet - 1 CL 2 DD 3 SS(V) or just 1 CL 5 DD
 * Expedition 6 (Bauxite)
 * Use of Daihatsu recommended.

OR
 * Expedition 2 (ammo/bucket)
 * Expedition 6 (bauxite)
 * Expedition 38 (fuel/steel)

And during the night when you sleep, I'd recommend:
 * Expedition 24 (Fuel + Bauxite) [1 CL 4 DD 1 SS]
 * Expedition 35 (Bauxite) [2 CVL/AV 1 CA
 * Expedition 11 (Bauxite)
 * All Expeditions stated above should have full 6 ship fleet with Sparkles



Equipment
Equipment wise I'd say you are okay "standard wise", but I would first above recommend getting the full Night Battle Gear set from Sendai Kai Ni.

second above I am worried for your LBAS (which is highly likely to be in the Final Operation Map), but due to the fact you did not mention if you have any Land-based Attack Bombers and Interceptor Fighters, I am going to hold off on that a bit. However from your Carrier-based Bombers alone you are lacking Torpedo Bombers, and I hope your main used Fighters are all Double Chevron, especially Shiden Kai Ni which are very good to use for Interceptor (Air Defense mode on LBAS) purposes.

Offensive-wise, your LBAS might have issues due to lack of Skilled Fighters (Stock Equipment from Souryuu/Hiryuu Kai Ni and from Monthly Quests), and if you are lacking Land-based Attack Aircrafts, you would have to use Torpedo Bombers instead as long as it can reach the Boss node with the appropriate range, but your Torpedo Bombers are lacking as well so it might become a problem.

Ships

 * FBBs: Great
 * Slow BBs: Not so good but there is possibility they won't really be used at all cause of all the recent "Fast Ship-only Branching Rules"
 * CVs: Get your Souryuu & Hiryuu to Kai "at least", but I'd recommend going for Kai Ni for both due to their Firepower as Kai Ni and for the good Stock Equipment. However beware training them will cost you bauxite and will require you to spam bauxite-based expeditions as well to break-even. For Easy mode you shouldn't really need them since there won't be Ship Locking for Easy mode, hence why I said get them to Kai at least.
 * CVLs: You are lacking a lot of Fast-CVLs which may become an issue, but for Easy mode you could just use Chitose + Shouhou.
 * CAs: Very Lacking if you are doing Easy mode, might not matter too much since you have CAVs as well.
 * CLs: Sendai Kai Ni plz. Otherwise you are fine for Easy mode.
 * CLTs: Kitakami must be Kai Ni. Nuff' said.
 * DDs: Extremely lacking, even for Easy mode. You are going to get stuck if the Event requires you to sortie a Transport Combined Fleet which regularly requires 4 DDs 2 AVs/CAVs + 1 CL 2 CA(V)s 3 DD.
 * AVs: Lacking. AVs have been required for use for awhile now, especially "Fast-AVs", which are only Chiyoda and Chitose. Reset are Slow-Speed which might be banned from use due to Branching Rule (unless you apply the brand new Turbine + Engine Equipment Combination)

Leveling Priority
So as I had mentioned above, I'd recommend prioritizing leveling the following:
 * Destroyers (Have at least 7 Destroyers properly leveled for Easy mode)
 * Sendai Kai Ni
 * Kitakami Kai Ni
 * Chiyoda + Dupe Chitose to AV only
