A sudden attack is known either as a 'surprise attack' or an 'ambush.' Although both are unexpected, a surprise attack is typically a land offensive (the German Offensive @ Battle of the Bulge), whereas in an ambush a patrol or unit is fired on by defenders in a concealed position.

In Germany, it was known as a blitzkrieg. This type of attack would occur all of a sudden without any warning for preparation.
