Yes, this is the one.  How do you eliminate the condition so that it is
only implied that something did happen which caused the actual discovery of the
ambuscade.

[I suggest "I think that if something did not happen then they would not have
discovered our ambuscade."]

How can the "zo'e pu na'e fasnu" be removed?

Spanish has similiar usage with the conditional and subjunctive tenses.
