June Donovan · Answer 2

A. The narrator's present life cannot escape the bombardment of his wartime memories and actions.

Explanation:

In this story, the title has two possible meanings. The first one is the obvious reference to the ambush that the narrator describes took place during the war. However, a secondary meaning is the "ambush" that happens in the narrator's present life. This refers to how the narrator feels unable to escape from the control and the bombardment that his wartime memories carry out in the present.
