A guerilla force (often much more loosely organized than your "fascist army") can defeat such an army and has done so before. Soldiers following orders to commit atrocities such as the killing of innocents do not win wars, but give strength to guerilla armies fighting against them. I believe soldiers on the ground often know the situation better than the brass they are placed under. Fascism assumes "authority knows best", but when your top commanders really have no idea how to win the war (i.e. Vietnam, Iraq), an army disciplined to the orders of the foolish and clueless is bound to fail.
