This is the only one I found prior to 22 May 1940:

14 May 1940
Hs 123 (II./LG 2) damaged by Flak at Tirlemont. Lt. G. Dorffel safe. Aircraft reduced to salvage (80%).

Bingham, Victor F. ‘Blitzed’: The Battle of France May – June 1940. New Malden (Surrey): Air Research Publications, 1990. ISBN: 1 871187 07 9. Hb. Dj. 249p. Illus. Maps. Dwgs. Appendices. Glossary of abbreviations. Bibliography. Index. Page 226.

I have 3 more from the Bingham book:

5 June 1940:
Hs 123 (II./LG 2) destroyed taxiing at Pusieux, 100%
Hs 123 (II./LG 2) shot down in combat, 100%
Hs 123 (II./LG 2) motor fire, 100%

No further information given in Bingham, which lists nothing for Hs 123's for 6 and 12 June.
