It depends quite heavily on what faction you are playing as, and what MG you are fighting.

USF:
1) Rush M20. You will be doing this anyways most games and the M20 will hard counter both Axis MGs by either flanking or just driving straight at it if incendiary ammo is not available. Watch for supporting infantry with pshrecks and pfausts. Armored skirts required.
2) Get grenades package for riflemen. The package gives you access to smoke rifle grenades and Mk2 grenades. Use smoke to assault Mgs frontally, 1 per mg, and grenades to quickly clear out grenades.
3) Use the USF Mortar HT with White Phosphorus to burn MGs out of buildings and disrupt enemy formations. These rounds also act as smoke cover. Spam them all day every day. Remember that they do not kill units, so you will need supporting squads to clear out the slowed and damaged units. Unfortunately, these rounds do not provide veterancy for the mortar, so you will need to use HE rounds to gain vet, or swap out the vehicle crew.
Lategame) The Priest will hardcounter support weapon builds easily, but comes very late.

Sov:
1)Get molotovs after 4 conscripts. Molotovs will allow you to force MGs out of buildings and cover, and allow you to quickly OORAH flank an mg and force it away. Always attack axis MGs from multiple angles of attack, so that 1 squad will get through.
2)Build 120mm or 82mm mortar. Both work well against MGs. Zis barrage works as well is you are floating munitions.
3) Shock troops at 2 CPs to use smoke and grenades against MGs.
4) Flamer M3 clown cars are fragile, but can easily force away mgs after a successful flank.
Lategame) The ML20 will force units to fallback, and will deal good damage to anything that stays in its arc. The B4 works too, but is more of a one-hit wonder for wipes.

OST:
1) Build grens and counter Maxims and M2HBs by uing riflegrenades at long range. You can easily wipe the crew by just firing from max range, assuming you have the munitions to do so.
2) Build 81mm mortar or MHT. Both do very well against allied MG spam due to the 81mm mortar's fast ROF. This allows you to quickly kill maxims and M2s. The MHT can use its incendiary round to force a retreat or wipe the MG crew. You Generally shouldn't use smoke as axis, since you don't really have assault troops. If you have panzergrenadiers, you can use mortar smoke to allow them to flank and throw a bundle grenade, but remember that they are expensive.
3) Pop stormtroopers from behind support weapons and throw a bundle grenade.
4) Use OH sniper. Best vs. USF mg, but works vs. Maxim.
Lategame) The Sturmpanzer 4 will wreck enemy fortified positions, and can fire over some buildings. Use attack ground to make it more accurate and able to fire indirectly.

OKW:
1) OKW has a hard time dealing with mg spam, due to their lack of early game munitions for grenades, and lack of an effective manpower support gun. Use either of the doctrines with infiltration grenades to cheaply dispose of enemy mgs.
2) If in a 2v2+, build a Stuka Zu Fus, which will force retreat (and likely wipe) all enemy support weapons in its barrage path. Very high risk, so make sure you have mines and AT to protect it, and an ally to support your strategy.
3) Fallshimjaeger can quickly flank and dispose of mgs by popping out of buildings with their high DPS and access to powerful grenades.
4) Obers in the midgame can frontally laserbeam Mgs to death with their lmg upgrade. Each burst from their lmg will likely kill a crewmember, and their bundle grenade/frangible will deal very good damage on flanked mgs. Use in spread out groups of 2.
Lategame) Sturmtiger. Because overkill or nokill.

I probably left something out, but these are generally the tools you have to work with.
