Yes, it is effective to use Infantry/MG fire but also cannon, tank and mortar fire with LOS as well too. What i never do is use the "Z" key on areas where there hasn't been any hidden fire shot from yet, if you do otherwise you could probably reveal your location and intentions too soon to the enemy besides wasting ammo and begging for a rain of artillery on your men.
