The diffuse gamma rays beyond 1 TeV from the Galactic plane have been considered as mainly due to the inverse Compton(IC) scattering of the interstellar photons with the high-energy cosmic-ray electrons. In the recent studies of the evolution of SNR, the electron spectrum inside the SNR at the high energy side are suppressed by the synchrotron loss or the insufficient time for the acceleration. The electron spectrum is approximated as the power law spectrum with exponential form of E -γ exp[-E /Emax ] [12]. We calculate the diffuse gamma-ray spectrum for Emax =10,20,50,100 TeV, and discuss the significance of these results by comparing with the gamma-ray flux observed by experiments. In addition to these IC gamma rays by the interstellar electrons, the electrons inside the sources also contribute significantly to the high-energy gamma rays.
